What was corrected
Article attributed a 'Head of Research' role and specific productivity statistics to Marie Prokopets at Notion, though she is actually co-founder of Nira and is not affiliated with Notion. It also included internal studies for Roam Research, Superhuman, and Coda that could not be verified, altered Notion's and Roam's founding and revenue dates, and attached specific statistics to Cal Newport and Sophie Leroy that could not be verified in their published research.
Removed the Marie Prokopets/Notion attribution and the associated statistics entirely, corrected Notion's valuation timeline (roughly $2B in April 2020 to $10B in October 2021, not $1M to $10B) and revenue timeline ($67M ARR was reported in 2022, not 2020, with $250M following in 2023), corrected Roam Research's founding year (2019, not 2020) and ARR milestone (about six weeks, not four months), removed an unverifiable 2021 usage study, removed unverifiable Superhuman and Coda internal-research claims while preserving accurate facts such as Superhuman's $30/month pricing, and replaced the statistics attached to Cal Newport and Sophie Leroy with accurately hedged descriptions of their actual published work.
Why this is better
Verified against Forbes coverage of Notion's funding rounds, Indie Hackers' documented account of Roam Research reaching $1M ARR, and public biographical records for Marie Prokopets (LinkedIn, Nira) showing no affiliation with Notion.
