Fresh information. Useful context.
Freshness and usefulness are separate qualities. A recent signal can still be irrelevant; older information can still matter when it explains a decision.
01A framework for the work
Freshness
When was the information observed, and how quickly could it become outdated?
Relevance
Why does it matter to this account, person or commercial priority?
Interpretation
What does the evidence support—and what remains uncertain?
Action
Does it help someone choose a useful next step?
Verification
Can the person acting on it check its source and reasoning?
Evaluate the information against the decision it needs to support, rather than assuming more data means better intelligence.
