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

What would count as true or false

True: GiveWell publicly announced the Change Our Mind contest winners on or before 2022-12-15. Mostly false: winners announced after 2022-12-15, however soon after. False: no announcement by the deadline, shown by a dated later announcement or a GiveWell statement of delay or cancellation. The announcement's date must be verifiable from the publication itself.

Set before the research began.

Evidence (2)

  1. E1 The winners of the Change Our Mind Contest—and some reflections - The GiveWell Blog GiveWell Blog · 15 December 2022 Own record

    “Today, we’re excited to announce the winners!”

  2. E2 1 GiveWell (The Clear Fund dba GiveWell) Own record

    “Judging will take place between the end of the Entry Period and December 15, 2022 (the “Judging Period”).”

Reasoning

GiveWell's blog post dated 2022-12-15 [E1] announces the Change Our Mind Contest winners. Its publication date is shown in the post itself and matches the promised deadline. The contest terms [E2] set the judging period to end on December 15, 2022, which is consistent with that timeline. The announcement is the subject's own published output, which the criteria accept as a specific record of delivery.
