NoteThe source directly confirms that Will MacAskill is a Co-founder of 80,000 Hours. The record's claim that he is a 'Co-Founder' at '80,000 Hours' is accurate. However, the source does not explicitly state a start date of 2011. The source confirms the person, organization, and role, but the startDate field (2011) is not addressed in the source text, making that specific field unverifiable. Since three of four key fields are confirmed and one is unverifiable (not contradicted), the overall verdict is 'confirmed' with high confidence.
