Hi "classification algorithm will for sure need to Fit against new dataset to produce new model" - I do not think this is correct. Maybe we are talking semantics but AFAIU, you "train" one model using some dataset, and then use it for scoring new datasets.
You may re-train every month, yes. And you may run cross validation once a month (after re-training) or lower freq like once in 2-3 months to validate model quality. Here, number of months are not important, but you must be running cross validation and similar sort of "model evaluation" work flow typically in lower frequency than Re-Training process.
