ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 83%

Both cited PRIMARY sources were fetched successfully and both quotes appear verbatim. Source 1 (Governor Moore Launches Second Maryland Corps and Service Year Option Cohort) confirms "The 2024-2025 cohort includes more than 600 members—more than double the size of the inaugural cohort—including 500 Service Year Option members and 100 Maryland Corps members," directly documenting that participation more than doubled. Source 2 (second commencement) independently corroborates with "nearly 500 individuals who completed the service programs this year—more than double the number of last year." The promised doubling was therefore achieved and exceeded within the year of the promise. On the leadership bar for CHAMPIONED: Source 1 shows Moore personally launching the second cohort — the very cohort that achieved the doubling — as leader driving the expansion of the Service Year Option, his signature program created via the SERVE Act. This is active executive leadership of the outcome, not a mere vote or passive support. Confidence trimmed slightly from the original because Source 2's framing is support-only (the Department of Service and Civic Innovation is credited with running the programs), so the leadership evidence rests primarily on Source 1 plus the program's well-established provenance as Moore's own creation rather than on both sources equally.
