Evidence freshness
Each kind of check has its own clock and its own threshold. A price ages in weeks and a feature list in months; sharing one date between them would let an old review pass for a recent check.

| Features | Checked 34 days ago | Fresh |
| Privacy & data | Never checked | Not independently checked |
