  value: No disclosure of severance terms, retraining support, or timeline for AI implementation.; No mention of revenue performance, profitability, or prior hiring pace that contextualizes scale of cuts.
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: It combines the credibility of Reuters’ wire distribution with the loaded phrase 'AI-driven efficiencies' — a term that implies objective, technical causality — while offering zero evidence of AI deployment, measurement, or impact. The framing makes the causal link between AI and layoffs feel larger and more certain than the source material supports, creating tension between the confident attribution and the complete absence of substantiating detail.
