The source confirms that Toby Ord is listed as a founder of the Centre for Effective Altruism. However, the claim states he is 'the Founder' (singular), while the source actually lists two founders: William MacAskill and Toby Ord. This is a partial confirmation—Toby Ord is confirmed as a founder, but the claim's use of the singular 'Founder' is incomplete or misleading, as it omits William MacAskill who is also listed as a founder.
