Review Date
A date fixed in advance on which an AI tool, or the rule that governs it, is checked again. The site's ownership article puts it on each tool's one-page record so that the check does not depend on anyone remembering.
What it means in practice
The ownership article puts a review date on the one-page record for every tool, next to its purpose, its users and the data it can reach. The banning article applies the same idea to the rule itself: a rule filed once goes stale within months, so name a person who owns the page and put a review date in the calendar. The time-saving article uses a fixed review point to decide whether a tool stays.
How we use it
The ownership article says an audit lists every tool in use, checks what each one handles and gives each one an owner and a review date, which is part of how we audit. It also says quality drifts when nobody samples the outputs, which is what the review is for.
FAQ
Questions about Review Date
How often should an AI Tool be reviewed?
The ownership article says at least once a quarter, and again whenever the vendor announces a change to the model, the features or the terms. A quarterly review checks a sample of real outputs, who has access, what data the tool can reach and whether the written rules still match how people use it.
Why set the review date in advance?
The time-saving article says a tool with no scheduled review tends to stay in use by default, whether or not it earns its place. Fixing the date first means the call is made at a set point. The customer data article adds that tools change their terms often, so last year's safe setting may not be this year's.
