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

A scheduled AI run is only comparable with the last one if both used the same data window. Timestamps prove that they did.

Short answer

Before trusting a scheduled AI research run, check its scheduled time, actual start time, data window (start/end in UTC), and the read time of each data source. Runs that start late or fetch sources minutes apart produce windows that don't match previous runs. Require the window to be stated in each output and flag runs where any source's read time falls outside the tolerance.

Illustrative: a delayed run used a window ending at 07:14 instead of 07:00, including a 2% move that yesterday's run would have attributed to the next day.

Questions readers ask

Why do scheduled runs need timestamps?

To prove windows match across runs.

What if a run starts late?

Its window shifts; log it.

What should each output state?

Its data window in UTC.
