Error class E-01

Confident staleness

A time-sensitive rule, limit, or figure is presented as current without its applicable date or a checkable qualification.

Definition only — not a benchmark finding.

Benchmark run #1 has not occurred. This page does not attribute this error to any assistant or present a fabricated example.

Classification boundary

The class applies to freshness failures. A current figure that is otherwise wrong belongs under factual accuracy, while an undated contract-specific term may instead be a scope failure.

Grader checks

Evidence required

A future finding must link the complete transcript, identify the exact claim, cite the operative grading source and its as-of date, and retain both independent grading passes plus any adjudication note. If the evidence is absent, the classification remains pending rather than counted.
