CONTENT CATALOGUE REVIEW — ORIGINAL FICTIONAL EXAMPLE
Review date: 18 September 2026. All titles, counts and situations below are invented for teaching.
Recent window: 21 August–17 September 2026 inclusive (28 days). Counts are illustrative views, not a conversion measure. All six items existed for the entire window. Never silently mix lifetime and recent views.

ID | Title | Published | Lifetime views | Recent views | Currency / qualitative observation | Decision
A | Start your first interview | 2023-06-01 | 120000 | 800 | Advice current; relevant audience questions | Keep; connect to current research guide
B | Our recording setup | 2024-02-15 | 45000 | 6200 | Recommends unavailable equipment; links broken | Refresh equipment guidance; retain useful explanation
C | Questions that get beyond the bio | 2025-11-10 | 18000 | 4100 | Advice current; packaging promises generic guest preparation | Review actual impressions, CTR and traffic sources; then test a more specific promise if evidence supports it
D | Summer workshop announcement | 2024-04-01 | 8000 | 70 | Date passed; booking CTA obsolete | Remove active sales links; decide archive/unlist/remove after checking historical value and references
E | Approving a cut | 2026-02-01 | 9000 | 2700 | Workflow current; viewers ask for checklist | Keep video; add a clearly linked checklist
F | A guest cancels | 2026-05-20 | 12000 | 1200 | Still useful; substantially overlaps another current guide | Compare full answers; consolidate navigation around one useful destination, preserve unique material

WHY B COMES FIRST
B is currently reaching viewers with outdated recommendations. Correct accuracy and broken paths before spending the same time repackaging a low-demand evergreen item. Recent views alone do not justify this decision; the outdated advice is the decisive observation.

B ACTION RECORD
Owner: producer (assign a named person before work starts).
Task: verify alternatives and availability; mark outdated guidance clearly in every editable surface; decide whether the essential correction needs a replacement video.
Preserve: useful explanations that remain accurate.
References: inventory incoming links, description links and embeds before changing availability.
Approval: editor checks new recommendations and corrected links.
Follow-up: recheck corrected destinations after publication; log comparable-window traffic later, without assigning causal lift from a before/after change alone.

Do not delete based on a low count alone. Separate archive, unlisting, removal and redirects; their effects and available controls depend on the platform.
