WHAT WE CHECKED

Latest source check

Confirm availability and intake requirements before sending someone.

What was checked · sources & limits

Count covers purpose, eligibility, service area and how to start—not hours or current availability.

Recorded fields: 4 of 4. This is a completeness count, not a rating.

Published information documented

Dates vary by field. This latest source date does not mean every detail was checked that day, or that a provider confirmed availability.

Earliest recorded recheck date:

Information completeness, not a provider rating or availability guarantee. A newer source check does not renew older claims or schedules. The review date is the earliest applicable valid deadline.

Review status uses retained claim and routing-schedule deadlines at the later of now or your selected time. Unknown deadlines stay unknown. No source has been rechecked by this calculation.

Completeness metadata snapshot:

The snapshot counts four recorded source-supported fields, including documented limitations. It did not re-read sources or contact providers. The claim-only Evidence Lens and routing schedules retain separate provenance.

Conflicting instructions

None recorded; not independently confirmed

No source conflict is recorded; sources were not re-read to establish that they agree.

Provider confirmation

Not recorded

No dated provider observation is recorded in the audited catalog. Current availability and service outcomes are unconfirmed. This dimension is outside the coverage count.

Evidence Lens
See the evidence behind the confidence.

We show five separate checks: how to start, eligibility, service area, hours, and documents. “Supported” means the claim has recorded support. “Unknown” means a gap remains. “Conflicting” means the sources need reconciliation. These are evidence labels, not a percentage chance of getting help.

These are recorded claim states and their own review dates, shown in Arizona time. A supported claim or a review not yet due does not confirm that this step is usable today.
