AI Crypto Calendar Research: How to Check Timestamps Before Trusting the Answer

Calendar answers depend on event times, timezones and whether an event already happened. A missing timezone alone can shift an event by hours.

Short answer

Before trusting an AI calendar answer, require each event's time in UTC, its source, whether the time is confirmed or tentative, and whether the event is past or upcoming relative to the answer's own time. Check for timezone and daylight-saving errors, and that 'actual' values are only given for released events. Reject lists that mix timezones or show actuals for events still in the future.

Where the calendar data and the answer drifted apart. Original ChartsPod editorial graphic.

Illustrative: an AI calendar listed a release at '12:30' without a timezone. The source meant UTC; read as local time in Istanbul (UTC+3), the user expected it three hours early.
