18F — Headcount: 0

unverifiable85% confidence

2 evidence checks from 1 unique source

Last checked: 3/31/2026

The claim asserts a specific headcount of 0 employees as of 2025-03. While the source confirms that 18F was eliminated on February 28/March 1, 2025, it does not explicitly state what the headcount is after elimination. The source mentions '90 people were impacted' (the pre-elimination workforce), but does not directly confirm that the post-elimination headcount is exactly 0. Although elimination logically implies 0 employees, the source does not explicitly verify this specific data point.

Found: The source states that 18F was 'deleted' early Saturday morning (around March 1, 2025) and that 'about 90 people were impacted.' However, it does not explicitly state the current headcount as of March

Found: The source states that 18F, 'a government tech consultancy,' was eliminated early Saturday morning (around February 28/March 1, 2025) and consisted of 'around 90 employees.'

Note: The 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.
