AI Crypto Market-Regime Research: How to Check Timestamps Before Trusting the Answer

A regime label applies to a window. Without the window's end time, you can't tell whether the regime described is still current.

Short answer

Before trusting an AI market-regime answer, require the window used (start and end), the last closed bar, the definition's inputs with their times, and how long the current regime has lasted as of the answer. Regimes change at specific bars; an answer computed on data ending days ago may describe a regime that has already ended. Reject labels without an 'as of' time.
