The article is factually neutral with no loaded language, and the headline accurately reflects the sourced figures (~1,000 jobs, 6%, largest since 2022), all corroborated by the WSJ/Reuters/CNBC references. The figures and the 2022 comparison are well supported. The prior-review flagged sentences about what the company 'has not disclosed' persist but are framed as statements of informational absence rather than contested factual claims, which is defensible; they do not misrepresent any side or inject opinion. The closing 'closely watched' line is a minor residual editorial flourish but is generic and not a genuine neutrality violation. Representation is fair — this is a single-subject corporate news item with no adversarial sides requiring balance. Approved for publication.
