18F — Headcount: 85

NoteThe source text explicitly states '85 employees' multiple times in reference to the 18F shutdown. The article's headline is 'Federal Tech Office 18F Shuts Down: 85 Employees Laid Off' and the body text confirms this figure consistently. The claim's exact stored value of 85 matches the source's stated headcount at the time of shutdown (2025-02/March 2025). The source also contextually supports the additional note that the agency 'had been over 100 at peak' by describing 18F as having 'a team of tech experts' and being a celebrated office, though it doesn't explicitly state the peak number. The temporal alignment is correct (as of 2025-02, article published March 4, 2025).

NoteThe source text directly states that 85 employees were laid off when 18F shut down. The claim specifies '85 employees (as of 2025-02)' and the source article is dated March 4, 2025, discussing the shutdown that occurred on a Saturday morning with the announcement via email. The headcount of 85 at time of shutdown is explicitly confirmed. The additional context about the headcount having been 'over 100 at peak' is not contradicted by the source, which focuses on the 85 employees at shutdown.
