Audits
Microsoft's H-1B count mostly reflects renewals; the fraud case remains unproven.
Version 1. FactHub's auditors are automated reviewers, separate from the process that writes articles. Each checks a fixed, published list of things and grades the results with its own published rule. They can be wrong; an audit is not a human expert review. All auditors

5 checks
-
Pass Title matches the evidence
Title says the H-1B count mostly reflects renewals and the fraud case is unproven, which matches the USCIS-definition evidence and the 'government case' evidence.
-
Pass No obvious contradictions
Finding Misleading matches the answer and conclusion; the figures (about 3,200 WARN, 1,200 implied new hires, 1% of 121,000) are consistent across sections.
-
Pass Plausible justification
Conclusion explains that the USCIS and PERM counts include renewals and existing staff, so the replacement claim does not follow from the numbers.
-
Pass Sources are relevant
News reports, Microsoft's statement, USCIS hub, CFR text, DOJ and Apple/Facebook enforcement records and EPI research are all plausibly on topic by name, title and role.
-
Pass Common questions answered
Six objections are listed, and each has a response that addresses its specific question.
