**2013**

- [2348463-019](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2348463-019) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Under both the bankruptcy and the systemic risk disclosure regimes, filed data carries a serious risk of being out of date and less accurate at the time it is analyzed than when it was disclosed, partly because of the lag needed to collect data before filing.
  > It is important to note that for purposes of any analysis of filed data under either disclosure system, there is a serious risk that data may be out of date and less accurate when analysed than at the time when it was disclosed.

- [2348463-020](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2348463-020) [mechanism/argued] -- Data staleness degrades systemic risk evaluation more than it degrades evaluation of bankruptcy disclosures, because many distressed investment strategies depend on the outcome of the restructuring process and creditors are therefore incentivized to hold their positions until it completes.
  > This lack of accuracy can affect systemic risk evaluation more than an evaluation of disclosures in the bankruptcy context because many distressed investment strategies depend on the outcome of the restructuring process

- [2348463-038](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2348463-038) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Using generic and possibly outdated systemic risk data in the bankruptcy process would not improve hedge funds' bankruptcy practices in the near term.
  > The use of generic and possibly outdated systemic risk data in the bankruptcy process would therefore not improve hedge funds' practices in bankruptcy in the near term.

**2025**

- [5095633-014](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5095633-014) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- In fast-moving fields such as technology, law, and public policy, models trained on obsolete datasets fail to capture new trends, behaviors, or regulatory changes, which reduces their predictive and explanatory power.
  > In rapidly evolving fields—technology, law, or public policy—models trained on obsolete datasets fail to capture new trends, behaviors, or regulatory changes, ultimately reducing their predictive and explanatory power.
