Claim as Clarified

A search of 29 sources across corporate training providers, consulting firms (Deloitte, KPMG), government agencies (GSA, DoD, NHS, UK Government Digital Service), regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF), law firm policy templates, and UX research organizations found zero warnings about sycophancy under any terminology.
