Corrections & Versioning

Data changes, and so does the law behind it. GeoBusinessIQ treats corrections as first-class: figures carry a last-updated date, material changes are recorded in a public changelog, and the freshness governance keeps every date honest. The goal is a legible history, not a quietly edited present.

Quick answer

Every entry is dated and changes are recorded in a public changelog; a correction updates the typed data and its last-updated date, and the freshness audit keeps dates consistent — there are no silent, undated edits.

How corrections are made

When a figure is found to be out of date or wrong, the typed data is updated and its last-updated date is moved forward against the source. Because numbers live once on the country record, a single correction propagates to every page that reads it.

Versioning and the changelog

Material additions and changes are recorded in the public changelog at /changelog, so a reader can see what changed and when rather than inferring it from a moving page.

Dates reflect review, not permanence

A last-updated date means the figure matched its source at that review, not that the law is frozen. The freshness policy explains how the platform-wide reviewed date is computed and audited.

Methodology notes

  • The freshness audit rejects malformed or future-dated entries at build time, so the change history cannot be inconsistent.
  • Vendor-availability fields are point-in-time and may change between reviews; treat them accordingly.

FAQ

How do I know when a figure last changed?
Each page shows a last-updated date, and material changes are recorded in the public changelog at /changelog.
Are corrections made silently?
No. A correction updates the data and its date, and material changes are logged — there are no undated, unrecorded edits.
