Audit time on same fixed-offset clock
2026-10-20T12:00
Signed record ages (hours)
A: 2; B: 4; C: 0
Records older than source allowance
B
Fresh nonfuture record share (%)

Calculation method

Calculation method

Signed record ages (hours)

(Audit time−last updated)/60.

Records older than source allowance

Age strictly greater than that source’s supplied allowance.

Fresh nonfuture record share (%)

Nonfuture records with age≤allowance / all records×100. Future records remain in the denominator and are separately flagged.

Records dated in the future

List records whose update time follows the audit time.

Oldest nonfuture record age (hours)

Maximum non-negative age, or an explicit no-nonfuture status.

Symbols and units
a
Sources: name, allowed age hours
b
Feed records: unique ID, source, last-updated timestamp
c
Audit time on same fixed-offset clock

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • A timestamp/cadence audit on one supplied fixed-offset clock. It does not fetch feeds, infer freshness guarantees or treat a recent timestamp as proof of accurate data.
