The Standard
How the record-breaking standard works.
F18 is built on a single premise: age is no longer a barrier to solving what matters. But we do not accept self-reported claims. Every member of F18 must meet a rigorous, verified standard.
The Rules
1. One hero claim
If you cannot write a single-sentence record, the person does not qualify yet. We look for constraint-bounded claims that hold up even without the age constraint.
2. Hyperlinked metrics
Every metric, award, or milestone must link to a primary source. We verify funding raised, active users, press coverage, and awards. No inflated or unverified numbers.
