The record
The failure mode is asymmetric and that asymmetry drives the whole retention policy. Missing information produces a question, which is cheap. Wrong information produces a confident action, which is not. Anything time-sensitive carries a review date, anything contradicted gets corrected or deleted the same day, and deletion is always preferred to hedging — a memory qualified into uselessness still ranks in results.
