The source document is a website homepage for Coefficient Giving/Open Philanthropy that discusses the organization's funds, mission, and recent accomplishments. It does not contain any personnel information about Nick Beckstead, his job titles, start date, or end date. While the source is from Open Philanthropy (the organization mentioned in the record), it does not address any of the specific claims about this individual's employment. This is an 'unverifiable' case because the source is about the right organization but simply does not discuss the personnel record in question.
