Source Freshness Review Calendar

Freshness boundary

AI answers are only as trustworthy as the source material behind them. Shipping rules, returns policy, product facts, warranty language, support tone, campaign terms, and escalation rules should have owners and review dates so stale content does not quietly shape Copilot answers, agents, or support drafts.

Calendar model

Create a lightweight calendar for monthly, quarterly, seasonal, and incident-triggered reviews. Prioritize sources used by Support Reply Review Workflow, Agents, Content and SEO Workflows, and Regulated Claims and Legal Review.

Change handling

When a source changes, note what changed, who approved it, whether indexes need refreshing, and which prompts or playbooks should be re-tested. Pair this with Migration and Reindex Review when source updates affect production workflows.

Owner and cadence

• Primary owner: site administrator with provider, billing, and security responsibility.
• Review cadence: after provider, mailbox, role, budget, security, WooCommerce, or integration changes.
• Escalate when Knowledge Base sources, policies, product facts, support tone, or regulated claims lack an owner or review date.

Production checklist

• Assign owners and review dates for shipping, returns, warranty, product facts, support tone, campaign terms, and escalation sources.
• Update review notes after seasonal changes, incidents, product launches, policy edits, and support-pattern changes.
• Document who owns provider credentials, budget limits, role access, notification routing, and ongoing review.
• Keep configuration changes behind administrator access and review them after plugin updates, staff changes, or incidents.

Acceptance checks

• Every high-use source has a visible owner, review cadence, and last-reviewed signal.
• Stale or conflicting sources are removed before Copilot, agents, or support replies rely on them.
• A second administrator can explain why each high-risk setting is enabled and who may change it.
• No production credential, support mailbox, or notification path depends on an unmanaged personal account.

Common mistakes

• Leaving shipping, returns, support, warranty, and product sources without review dates until stale answers reach customers.
• Using personal provider keys, personal mailboxes, or broad administrator access because it is faster during setup.
• Changing budgets, roles, notifications, or integrations without recording the owner and review reason.
