Of the 14 feeds that record a read, 57% were read in the last day, 71% in the last week and 86% in the last month. A feed is read on the cadence its publisher changes on, so a quarterly filing being a quarter old is the correct answer rather than a stale one.
Every source is registered with its publisher, access mechanism, cadence and a rights determination before its first row is read, and a source without a green determination never reaches a page. The registry itself is not published: which feeds exist, which answer, and which are worth reading is the work. What is published is the provenance of every individual claim, on the record it belongs to, and the shape of what stands behind it. Buyers running diligence get the registry under contract.
