1. 29 July 2026 · corrected by Emir Baycan

   Corrected 4 unverified or altered citations: an entirely unverified 'Dirk Bohmer and Michael Lewrick, Research-Technology Management 2018' study on Swiss startup founders (no such paper or co-author exists); unverified statistics ('80 companies', '3.2 times', '7.3 years') added to Rita McGrath's real book Seeing Around Corners; an unverified 'Harvard research team, 100 failed product launches, 2012-2015' study with unverified 84%/62%/8% figures attached to Clayton Christensen's real Jobs-to-Be-Done framework (his real figure is a 75-85% general failure-rate range, not this specific breakdown); and Tony Fadell's real 89% programmable-thermostat statistic misattributed as his own personal research finding when it actually originates from ACEEE (American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy) data he cited.

   What the page claimed

   Article cited specific researchers, institutions, journals, and statistics for design-thinking and product-failure research that, on independent verification, were either entirely unverified or real frameworks/figures dressed up with unverified precision and false attribution.

   What was corrected

   Removed the unverified Bohmer/Lewrick study details while preserving Lewrick's real, general published findings; stripped unverified statistics from the real McGrath citation; corrected the Christensen citation to his real, verifiable Jobs-to-Be-Done distinction rather than the included an unverified study; corrected the Fadell/Nest thermostat statistic's attribution to its real source (ACEEE data) rather than personal research.

   Why: Real experts, books, and statistics were used as anchors for unverified specifics (unverified co-authors, unverified studies, unverified percentages) or misattributed real data, the same fabrication pattern found across this batch of legacy articles.
