Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, in memo to employees 10 July 2014 Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella vows to 'reinvent' productivity in huge memo sent to employees (The Next Web) archived copy

Promise Their own work or organisation

Microsoft will announce its earnings results for the past quarter on July 22, 2014, and Nadella will say more then about what Microsoft is doing in FY15 to focus on its core.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

The claim has two parts: Microsoft announces its quarterly (Q4 FY14) earnings on 22 July 2014, and Nadella says more then about the FY15 plan to focus on the core. True: Microsoft released Q4 FY14 results on or before 22 July 2014, and Nadella commented on FY15 priorities or focus, either on the earnings call or in the release. Mostly true: results were released on 22 July, but Nadella's FY15 remarks were thin or made by another executive while he still took part. Mostly false: results were released after 22 July 2014. Mixed: results were released on time but Nadella made no FY15-focus remarks. False: no results announcement took place around that date.

Reasoning

The evidence shows that Microsoft released its Q4 FY14 results on 22 July 2014 [E1][E2] and that the earnings call included remarks about FY15 and the core [E3][E4]. It does not show who made those remarks or whether Nadella took part, and that is what separates true, mostly true and mixed under the criteria.
