NoteThe source directly confirms that William MacAskill is listed as a founder of 80,000 Hours in the Wikidata record. The claim states '80,000 Hours's Founder (text) = William MacAskill' and the source explicitly shows William MacAskill under the 'founded by' property. While the source also lists Benjamin J. Todd as a co-founder, this does not contradict the claim—the claim identifies MacAskill as a founder (which is accurate), not as the sole founder. The claim is confirmed as a text value match.
