Mistaken idea “A file named final needs no intake record”

Mistaken reasoning: The mistake trusts names or folder order and silently replaces the evidence set used for earlier conclusions.

Updated Sep 11, 2026 Review due Nov 8, 2026

Why this is mistaken

Record and preserve the exact packet received before analysis. Add replacements through a dated change log and link them to affected work. Intake identifies versions; it does not prove that a file is correct or complete.

Where to watch

When this mistake may appear

  • Use Final_v7.xlsx; it is obviously the current file.
Check your work

Your work may contain this mistake if:

  • Omits the received time, owner, version, units, period, or hash, or overwrites an earlier packet file.
