 # Model Freshness
-From the homescreen of Tobiko Cloud we have the graph on historical freshness.
+
+Model freshness indicators on the homepage allow you to immediately determine whether the production environment is correct and up to date.
+
+Additional information on the page, such as lists of models and their current status, helps you investigate any freshness issues, identify problematic models, and check if CI/CD processes have stopped running.

-**Data model freshness** here refers to the timeliness and relevance of the data used in a data model, ensuring that it reflects the most current and accurate state of the underlying system or domain. In other words, it measures how up-to-date and synchronized the model is with the real-world data.
-Zooming into that data, the model freshness chart shows you the freshness of your models within your data warehouse relative to the model's configured cron.
+## When you might use this

+The model freshness chart answers the question "how is the production environment right now?" It summarizes the recent history of production models and whether they were backfilled on time.
+
+When the chart is all green, everything is running smoothly and you're good to go!
+
+Red indicators in the past don't require immediate action, but they may provide lessons that can help prevent similar issues in the future.
+
+Red indicators now mean it's time to take action and debug the issue.
+
+## Finding the model freshness chart
+
+The model freshness chart is near the top of the Tobiko Cloud homepage.

-The chart displays historical data, showing freshness levels across time (shown on the `x-axis`). This historical view helps when troubleshooting reported data issues—you can quickly check if problems were caused by delayed data runs or other underlying issues.
 
-The chart uses three colors to show the percentage of models in different states:

+Model freshness is the timeliness of the data most recently processed by a model. In other words, it measures how up-to-date each model is relative to its `cron`.

+The chart displays historical data, showing the percentage of models that were fresh (y-axis) across time (x-axis).
+
+This historical view helps when troubleshooting data issues — you can quickly check if the issue is associated with delayed model runs.
+
+![tcloud model freshness](./model_freshness/tcloud_model_freshness.png)
+
+The chart uses color to show the percentage of models in different states:
 
 1. Models that have run for all previous cron periods are "complete" (green).
-    - All green indicates the data warehouse is fully up-to-date with model crons.
+    - All green indicates the data warehouse is fully up-to-date
 2. Models that haven't run for the most recent cron period are "pending" (yellow).
 3. Models that haven't run for multiple previous cron periods are "behind" (red).
-    - Red signals potential issues that need investigation.
+    - Red signals potential issues that need investigation
+
+Keep in mind that if a model shows red (behind) in the past, that doesn't necessarily reflect its current status. It may have caught up by now!
+
+The chart is interactive — hovering reveals the distribution of model freshness at a specific time point.

-To make your life easier, the chart is interactive—you can click any point in time to see which specific models were complete, pending, or behind.
