# Data Freshness Check
Quickly determine if data is fresh enough to use.
## Freshness Check Process
For each table to check:
### 1. Find the Timestamp Column
Look for columns that indicate when data was loaded or updated:
- `_loaded_at`, `_updated_at`, `_created_at` (common ETL patterns)
- `updated_at`, `created_at`, `modified_at` (application timestamps)
- `load_date`, `etl_timestamp`, `ingestion_time`
