Evidence tier describes my hands-on relationship with the content. Official sources describe platform contracts/documentation. Production observations should not automatically be treated as official limits.
Problem
Most Automation Studio Data Views expose a rolling 180-day window.
Approach
Schedule incremental extracts/queries into historical Data Extensions or an external analytical store, with stable event keys and retention rules you own.
Additional storage and governance
Need deduplication/idempotency
A Data Extension is still not a full analytical warehouse
