   9 flagged findings: an unverified Blind '0.3%' rescission stat (appearing twice, the second time with an additional unverified '12,000 reported negotiation experiences' sample size); an unverified Glassdoor '37%/85%' negotiation-rate stat; an unsupported precise '$500,000 lifetime earnings' projection with no shown calculation; an unverified Josh Doody quote; an unverified Laszlo Bock claim about Google 'flagging' candidates who accept immediately; an unverified Haseeb Qureshi quote; an Amazon base salary cap figure ('$185,000... as of 2024') that was roughly in the right ballpark per web verification but presented with false precision and an unclear source; an unverified Global Knowledge '15%' certification premium stat; an unverified Columbia Business School precise-number study.

   What the page claimed

   'A 2023 Blind analysis found fewer than 0.3% of tech negotiations resulted in rescinded offers' (appeared twice, second time with 'among 12,000 reported negotiation experiences'); 'only 37% of workers attempted to negotiate...85% received a higher offer' (Glassdoor); 'roughly $500,000 or more in lifetime earnings' unsupported projection; unverified Josh Doody quote ('I have never seen a company rescind...fifteen years of recruiting...'); unverified Laszlo Bock claim about Google flagging candidates who accept immediately; unverified Haseeb Qureshi quote ('the person with the most information wins the negotiation...'); 'capped at $185,000 for most roles as of 2024' (Amazon); unverified Global Knowledge '15%' certification premium stat; unverified Columbia Business School precise-number study.

   What was corrected

   Softened to: anecdotal reports describing rescissions as a rare exception rather than a real risk; removed unsupported statistics and lifetime-earnings projection; de-attributed Doody and Qureshi quotes to plain prose describing their general published views; softened Bock claim to what is verifiable from his book; softened Amazon cap to a range description with a caveat that it varies and shifts over time; softened certification premium and anchoring-study claims to qualitative language citing 'industry salary surveys' and 'behavioral research on anchoring' generally rather than specific unverified sources; removed now-orphaned Glassdoor and Blind reference-list entries.

   Why: Removed or softened 9 unverified statistics, quotes, and claims: Unverified Blind rescission stat (both occurrences) and sample size, unverified Glassdoor negotiation-rate stat, unsupported lifetime-earnings projection, unverified Josh Doody and Haseeb Qureshi quotes, unverifiable Laszlo Bock claim, imprecise Amazon salary-cap figure, and unverified Global Knowledge and Columbia Business School studies. Preserved legitimate framing of each real person's published views and removed orphaned reference-list entries tied to the removed stats.
