| 51 | +**Issue Found:** |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +**Location:** Section "1. Check Your Subscription and License" |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +**Problem:** |
| 56 | +> "You'll need an eligible **Microsoft 365 subscription** (Business Standard, Business Premium, **Business Basic**, or Apps for business/enterprise)" |

| 89 | +## Fact-Checking Methodology |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +### Sources Relied Upon |
| 92 | +1. **GitHub Official Docs**: Feature matrix, custom agents spec, .agent.md format |
| 93 | +2. **Microsoft Learn**: License Options for Microsoft 365 Copilot (primary source for licensing) |
| 94 | +3. **JetBrains Marketplace**: GitHub Copilot plugin compatibility list |
| 95 | +4. **GitHub Blog**: Changelogs (Free plan announcement, agent features, MCP support) |
| 96 | +5. **Product Pricing Pages**: GitHub Copilot plans, Microsoft 365 Copilot licensing tiers |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +### Key Verification Steps |
| 99 | +- Searched for product claims with "2025" to ensure currency (e.g., "GitHub Copilot free plan 2025") |
| 100 | +- Cross-referenced licensing against multiple sources; official Microsoft docs prioritized over summaries |
| 101 | +- Verified IDE support lists against official marketplace |
| 102 | +- Validated code examples for syntactic correctness |
| 103 | +- Checked free plan limits against GitHub's official pricing page |

| 106 | +--- |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +## Recommendations for Future Articles |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +1. **Licensing Claims:** Always verify against official Microsoft Learn and GitHub Docs licensing pages. Licensing tiers change annually and are a common source of errors. |
| 111 | +2. **Free Plan Details:** Check GitHub Copilot Free plan limits annually (launched Dec 2024; may have changes in 2026+). |
| 112 | +3. **Product Naming:** Maintain consistency with official naming: |
| 113 | + - ✅ "GitHub Copilot" (not "Github") |
| 114 | + - ✅ "Microsoft 365 Copilot" (not "M365 Copilot") |
| 115 | + - ✅ "Microsoft Copilot in Outlook" (exact product name) |
| 116 | +4. **IDE Support:** Reference JetBrains Marketplace for current IDE support list (changes with plugin updates). |
| 117 | +5. **File Paths:** Verify against official GitHub Docs for custom agent and instruction file locations. |
| 118 | + |
