What was corrected
Article attributed an unverified 2400-worker study to Paul McClure at the University of Manchester, and attributed unverified specific follow-up statistics (24 percent reinstated, 2.3 hours gained, 18 percent velocity increase) to Shopify's real meeting purge.
The unverified McClure citation was replaced with an unattributed but independently supported general finding about time-diary research on knowledge work; the Shopify figures were corrected to the company's actual reported outcomes, roughly a third less meeting time and roughly a quarter more completed projects.
Why this is better
Verified the named researcher and the specific follow-up statistics against real published and reported sources; found one entirely unverified researcher and one real event with included an unverified numbers attached.
