Resolution Criteria
A better framing of the question would go like : "Will any researchers currently employed by Google DeepMind as of January 1, 2024, leave to form or join a new startup named 'Holistic' within the calendar year of 2024?"
Definitions
Researchers: Includes any individuals employed in a research capacity by Google DeepMind as of January 1, 2024.
Leaving: Refers to the official termination of their employment with Google DeepMind for any reason.
Formation/Joining of 'Holistic': Involves actively establishing a new startup named 'Holistic', or joining it if it's already formed, within 2024. This includes but is not limited to roles such as founders, co-founders, employees, or advisors.
Startup Named 'Holistic': The startup must be clearly named 'Holistic'. Similar names will not be considered unless they are legally registered variations of 'Holistic'.
Time Frame: The event must occur between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024.
Verification: Evidence such as public announcements, credible news reports, or official statements from Google DeepMind or the individuals involved will be required to confirm the event.

Google Deepmind researchers did leave DeepMind in 2024 to form a startup that was named Holistic. Later the startup got renamed to H and the founders did leave, but everything in the resolution criteria happened.
Of note: there is already an existing AI focused company called "Holistic AI" - if this does come true in spirit I can see them choosing a different name (violating definition 4) to avoid trademark infringement (ha ha ha...).
