| "livingForwardDefinition": "A record is Living Forward when it has been actively re-verified within its entity-specific staleness threshold. Plants, Data Centers, Projects, Units, Events, and Pipelines are re-verified on an annual cycle. Companies are re-verified on a two-year cycle. Records outside the threshold are retained for historical context but flagged as not verified.", |
