NoteThe claim asserts a specific metric: '18F's Government Retention Rate = 85% (as of 2023-12)' with additional context that '85% of departing 18F staff in 2023 moved to other government technology positions.' The source text provided is entirely silent on this statistic. While the source discusses 18F's history, accomplishments, and elimination, it contains no mention of retention rates, staff departure patterns, or where former employees moved. The subject (18F) matches the claim, but the specific data point is not addressed in the source material.
