Source Check Verdicts

partial85% confidence

Last checked: 4/14/2026

The claimed budget of $1,780,000 (exact stored value) is extremely close to the sum of the 10 grants listed in the source ($1,779,036.00), differing by only $964. This is within normal rounding tolerance (~0.05% difference). The status 'awarded' is confirmed by the source showing completed grants with 'Amount recommended' for each project. However, the source does not explicitly state a total program budget figure—the $1,780,000 must be inferred from summing the individual grants. The name and year (2018 AGI Safety Grant Program) are confirmed. The verdict is 'partial' because while the budget figure is essentially confirmed through the grant totals, the source does not explicitly state the overall program budget as a single figure.
