Technical content update signals
Question
What signal tells a reader that technical content is maintained, without inventing history?
Hypothesis
A 'last reviewed' label plus a visible version edition communicates maintenance more honestly than a publication date alone.
Who it concerns
Readers assessing whether to trust technical material.
Intervention
Every content item carries an editable last-reviewed date and the site carries a current-edition label.
What would be observed
- Whether reviewers notice the labels
- Whether an old review date reduces trust more than a missing one
What would count as a useful signal
Reviewers use the review date to decide what to read rather than ignoring it.
Notes
Depends on the content set being reviewed on a real cadence.
