Freshness belongs beside every market number
Editorial draft: a visible gap in the data is more useful than an unsupported claim of currency.
AI-assisted editorial proposal · not an approved MOGanja position · Draft prepared October 30, 2026
A market dashboard makes an implicit promise: the reader can tell what a number measures and when it happened. A large sales figure without a reporting period breaks that promise, even when the figure itself is accurate.
Our proposed standard is straightforward. Put the sales period, scope and source beside the value. Keep the publication date separate. When the next period cannot be verified, show the gap and link to the primary source. A smaller set of checkable figures is a better basis for decisions than a larger set with uncertain dates.
Apply the same discipline to discovery
The same standard should apply to specials and store locations. An old offer should not become current because a sync ran today. A city reference point should not look like a precise storefront location.
MOGanja can help people discover a store and follow its own website or menu link. That referral is not a completed purchase. Editorial judgment should remain independent of Featured placements, and this proposal does not authorize checkout, reservations or new visitor tracking.
How we calculated this
- This is a proposed editorial standard, not a DCR finding or a statement attributed to Dan. Prepared with AI assistance for human review.
- Context: the October 2026 DCR report contains completed-year retail figures through 2025; the monthly dashboard warns that sales can change after reconciliation.
