Issues found and resolved

🔴 HIGH — Fixed: Open Philanthropy founding description The article incorrectly described Open Philanthropy as "founded with assets from" Moskovitz and Tuna. Open Philanthropy originated as GiveWell Labs (2011), a joint project between GiveWell and Good Ventures, and became independent in 2017. Text corrected to reflect actual institutional history; table updated to show "2014 (independent 2017)".

🟢 LOW — Fixed: Lead title not bolded The article title was not bolded on first occurrence in the lead, contrary to style guide. Fixed.

Issues flagged but not fixed

🔴 HIGH — Retracted: MacAskill/GWWC co-founding Initially flagged; confirmed correct after web search. MacAskill and Ord are both co-founders.

🟡 MEDIUM — Open: Lead paragraph missing citation for intellectual genealogy claim "It emerged from academic moral philosophy in the late 2000s and early 2010s, drawing especially on utilitarian and impartialist traditions" has no inline citation. Needs sourcing.

🟡 MEDIUM — Open: 80khours-ea-explainer citation has no issue date Undated webpage; access date should be added manually.

🟡 MEDIUM — Open: Duplicate FTX conviction sentence The conviction sentence appears verbatim in both History and FTX Scandal sections. Consider consolidating.
