Set review triggers for important…

Set review triggers for important classifications—time-based, evidence-based, or outcome-based—because categories that persist without verification inherit compounding error from initial misclassification.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Hindsight Bias and Calibration Necessity (memory reconstructs to match outcomes), Exponential Information Decay (unrehearsed information decays), and Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without… (tacit knowledge degrades without detection). The lesson establishes that miscategorization compounds over time. This principle prescribes scheduled verification, following from axioms about memory reliability and undetected degradation.
