18F — Headcount: 0
The source confirms that 18F was eliminated on March 1, 2025 (early Saturday morning), which matches the claim's date of 'February 28/March 1, 2025'. The source states the entire office was 'deleted' and that 'about 90 people were impacted,' confirming the elimination of the entire team. After elimination, the headcount would be 0 employees, which aligns with the claim. The source directly supports both the elimination date and the fact that the entire organization was shut down.

NoteThe source confirms that 18F was eliminated on the date specified (early Saturday morning, with the email sent at 1am, consistent with February 28/March 1, 2025). However, the claim states headcount = 0 employees as of March 2025, while the source indicates the team had 'around 90 employees' before elimination. The claim's assertion of 0 employees is logically consistent with the elimination (implying 0 remaining after the RIF), but the source does not explicitly state the post-elimination headcount as 0. The source confirms the elimination occurred on the claimed date and provides context about the team size before elimination, but does not directly verify that the headcount is currently 0 as of March 2025.
