NoteThe record claims Ashish Vaswani held the role of Co-founder and Chief Scientist at Adept with both startDate and endDate of 2022. However, the source explicitly states that Vaswani was one of two co-founders who left Adept 'early on.' The source also notes that 'Adept was founded two years ago' (relative to the article's publication), and the article discusses the company's struggles and eventual Amazon acquisition, with no mention of Vaswani being present or active in 2022. The claim that his tenure ended in 2022 contradicts the source's characterization of his departure as occurring 'early on' in the company's history. The endDate of 2022 appears inconsistent with the timeline presented in the source.
