What was corrected

What the page claimed

Specific incremental salary-lift dollar ranges stated as fact. Unverifiable Capital One/Salesforce/Oracle/Netflix hiring claim. Fake "AWS Authorized Training Partners report 50-55%/55-60% pass rates" attribution (the article itself correctly notes AWS does not publish official rates, then contradicts that). ROI worked example presented an unstated-as-hypothetical $20K/year lift as an established outcome.

What was corrected

Softened the specific dollar-range salary lifts to defensible relative comparisons (modest lift, meaningfully larger lift, largest relative lift) without fake precision. Generalized the named-companies hiring claim to industry categories (finance, retail, software). Removed the fake AWS Authorized Training Partners attribution, replaced with community-reported framing consistent with the article's own correct statement that AWS does not publish official pass rates. Reframed the ROI worked example explicitly as an illustrative, non-guaranteed example built on a hypothetical salary lift figure. Verified and kept the accurate April 30, 2024 DBS-C01 retirement date and 3-year validity detail unchanged.

Why this is better

Applied fact-check fix: softened 2 unverifiable named-company/dollar-figure claims, removed a self-contradicting fake pass-rate attribution, reframed a worked ROI example as illustrative rather than established.
