# Buyer Persona Evidence Refresh Check

## Inputs
The persona documents, their last-updated dates and the evidence links per assumption.

## Workflow
1. List personas with last-updated dates.
2. Check each key assumption for a linked evidence source.
3. Flag stale personas and unevidenced assumptions.
4. Return the check without editing personas.

## Output contract
Persona | last updated | assumptions | evidenced | flag | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional set: 5 personas; the core buyer persona was last updated 14 months ago and 3 of its 5 key assumptions have no evidence link. Flag 3 assumptions.

## Review gates
Re-check the evidence date, not just the link. Persona updates are a research task; the check only queues them.
