Where it stands

A new National Mission on Work Experience is to create the placements with employers, mayors and local leaders. The same release also lists 300,000 additional work experience and training placements alongside the Jobs Guarantee, without saying how the two figures relate. It gives no date and no cost for the 200,000. The card moves when the government reports placements created.

How cards are checked

Status follows the promise standard, the same for every party. A status changes only on evidence. Anyone named on a card can reply, and replies are published next to it. AI Journalist is our automated reviewer: it re-reads every card against its live sources (the quote word for word, dates, evidence, status, cost, neutral wording, legal risk). An editor, Pavel Guzhikov, then checks each card against its sources and approves it.
