   1 flagged finding: an anonymous unverified quote attributed to an unverifiable 'Startup CFO, discussing equity evaluation for candidates.'

   Before

   "Equity in a company that fails is worth nothing. I evaluate private company equity heavily discounted based on the stage of the company and its probability of achieving a liquidity event. A junior employee joining a Series A startup should assume there is meaningful probability the equity never becomes liquid." - Startup CFO, discussing equity evaluation for candidates

   After

   Equity in a company that fails is worth nothing. Experienced compensation evaluators typically discount private company equity heavily based on the stage of the company and its probability of achieving a liquidity event. A junior employee joining a Series A startup should assume there is meaningful probability the equity never becomes liquid.

   Why: De-attributed the unverified 'Startup CFO' quote to unattributed prose, preserving the underlying claim about discounting private company equity.
