I feel like there's a really obvious word but I cannot bring it to mind. What word can I use to describe how recent or "fresh" something is? I've considered "recency" but it doesn't quite have the connotations I'm after. I want to describe how recently something was used.
I don't intend using it in a sentence but rather as one metric among several. Example metrics:
- Experience (rated low to high)
- Appeal (rated low to high)
- Recency (rated 1 year ago to now)
I'd really prefer a single word here, but that's under the assumption that there is actually something better than "recency".

Note that the main meaning for this noun involves money, which means that in certain circumstances its use may possibly necessitate a bit of disambiguation. But that shouldn't keep it from being used effectively.
