AI Crypto Research Scheduling: What the Assistant Should Say When Data Is Missing

Scheduled runs fail silently if a data source is down. Each output should say what it couldn't fetch rather than show an incomplete table as normal.

Short answer

When a scheduled research run hits missing data — a source error, rate limit or empty response — a good assistant marks the affected rows or sections, keeps the table format the same with explicit 'not available' entries, and doesn't carry yesterday's values forward silently. It should also flag when a run started late or used a different window.

What a good answer says

Examples of the wording to expect when research scheduling data is missing:

'OI for SOL not available this run (rate limited); last value shown is from yesterday and marked stale.'
'Run started 14 minutes late; window ends 07:14 UTC.'
'2 of 12 sources failed.'

Overconfident vs honest

  • Yesterday's values shown as today's
  • Missing rows dropped silently
  • Window change unmentioned
  • No failure count

Silence about a gap is the failure. Original ChartsPod editorial graphic.

Illustrative: a morning brief showed funding 'unchanged' for three days; the source had failed and old values were reused without a flag.
