Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the entity where Thariq Shihipar announces or begins his next primary, full-time professional role (or founder role) following his departure from Anthropic in October 2026.

• Verification sources: Resolution will be determined by official public statements from Thariq Shihipar (via his verified X account @trq212 or LinkedIn profile), official company announcements, or reputable tech journalism (e.g., Bloomberg, The Information, TechCrunch).

• Scope: The role must be a primary full-time position or founding a new venture. Informal advisory roles, temporary consulting gigs, or angel investing do not count unless framed as his full-time occupation.

• Starting a company: If he founds or co-founds an independent startup or stealth venture, this will resolve to an option representing founding his own startup, or "Other" if a dedicated option is not created.

• If multiple answers apply simultaneously (e.g., a joint venture), resolution will favor the primary employing entity stated on official announcements.
