stopdata
Stopdata is data that records the conditions, events, and metadata associated with stopping a process, task, or operation. It is collected to document why and when something ends, and to support analysis, auditing, and optimization of systems that rely on stoppage decisions.
A stopdata record typically includes fields such as stop_reason, timestamp, duration, state_snapshot, metrics_at_stop, triggering_condition, and provenance.
Uses of stopdata vary by domain. In algorithmic optimization, stopdata indicates when an iteration is terminated
Data quality and governance considerations for stopdata include ensuring consistency, time alignment, and privacy where appropriate.
