In practice, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Sunland tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. We see it on Sunland roofs every week. Drone access on steep or fragile Sunland roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Sunland shingle roof, and it shows up seasons before a ceiling stain does.
In practice, clearing the Sunland gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. Resealing penetrations on a Sunland roof covering every few seasons is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. As a rule, most Sunland roofs that fail early give out at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.
