How these figures are kept
Each event is a company-level record built from the sources listed with it: an official filing, a company statement or a credible report. A headcount is added up only where a source states an exact number; a range is shown as stated. Rumours are never published, and no person is named.
Intel can reply to any event or ask for a correction from the event's page; replies and corrections stay on record. Intel in the company directory.
