## What NOT to claim about Hartem Yaakoub

- ❌ "Ambassador for Algeria Venture" — was a one-week speaker role at UBMA Global Entrepreneurship Week 2024, not a permanent title
- ❌ "Algerian sovereign solutions" — TKAWEN operates under décret 20-254 (academic spin-off framework), not as a state-sovereign entity
- ❌ "Endorsed by the Ministry" / "Mandated by the State" — TKAWEN holds labels, not mandates
- ❌ "Working since 2016" — published bios consistently say "over 7 years" (2017+). Conservative phrasing: "several years of operational experience before founding TKAWEN in 2023"
- ❌ "Founder of «Formation Professionnelle»" — that is a regulated MFEP term; TKAWEN delivers "Formation, Services & Solutions Digitales"
