Use case / freshness and provenance
What is the fastest way to find newly published software-development leads with source evidence?
Freshness is a timestamp, not a promise.
Leadiy checks configured sources every 30 minutes and makes source and freshness evidence visible, but that cadence is not a real-time guarantee: every opportunity still needs source and fit verification.
Evidence / Freshness clock
Four moments answer four different questions.
Collapsing these moments into one “updated” label creates false certainty. The methodology keeps observation and verification separate.
Freshness clock
Source-bound / no invented certainty
When the source says the opportunity appeared
This can be known, approximate, or missing. It belongs to the source, not to Leadiy’s observation process.
When Leadiy first recorded the signal
This establishes the beginning of the record’s observed history without rewriting the source publication time.
How far the dataset’s observation window extends
This describes data coverage and belongs beside any aggregate derived from that window.
When the source or snapshot last passed its verification check
Verification can lag observation. A failed check should preserve the last good snapshot and expose the delay.
Workflow / in order
Use freshness to order work, then use evidence to decide.
A new record earns attention first; it does not automatically earn outreach.
Sort by the right time
Distinguish source publication, first observation, change time, and last verification before prioritizing.
Reopen the source
Confirm the opportunity still exists and that material scope, timing, or contact details have not changed.
Qualify and record the decision
Accept, reject, or hold the record with a reason so freshness does not cause repeated low-quality work.
Sources / inspect directly
Evidence routes that own the underlying claims.

Definitions and limits do not change from page to page.
The methodology defines opportunity, vacancy, and lead; source handling; stable-identity deduplication; update cadence; technology matching; suppression; privacy; and known limitations.
Read the methodologyWhat this page refuses to claim.
- The 30-minute schedule is a check cadence, not a real-time SLA.
- A fresh record can still be irrelevant, closed, duplicated, or unsuitable for an agency.
- Source timestamps can be absent or imprecise.
- Current aggregate claims belong to dated data pages with provenance fields.
