Source Clock

The date or publication window that tells users how current a public record source is.

A source clock is a source-record concept EnergyNetWatch keeps separate from broader activity claims.

Why It Matters

Different records update on different cadences. A fresh permit table does not make production, spud, or infrastructure status equally fresh.

Where The Public Data Comes From

Source clocks come from regulator publication dates, file timestamps, issue dates, report months, source footers, or reviewed data pulls.

What The Record Can Show

The clock can show the latest source date, report month, loaded file date, or reviewed publication window.

What The Record Cannot Prove

A source clock does not prove field activity happened on that date. It only describes the source freshness available to the user.

How EnergyNetWatch Uses It

EnergyNetWatch keeps source clocks visible on state watchlists, source reviews, app tables, exports, and report caveats.
