AI-inferred timestamp

A timestamp reconstructed by an LLM or by interpolation is a model output, not an observation. Treating an inferred time as measured injects unquantified error into every slot it lands in.

Class

Case to account for

Affects

1 conversion

Detection

Clock source is 'inferred'; the timestamp has no upstream sensor provenance.

Mitigation

Mark inferred times distinctly; attach an uncertainty and never merge them with measured times without a flag.

Affected conversions

Timestamp + zonehour-of-week slot
