Claim 3: “In the first quarter of next year, [facilities are scheduled for commissioning]”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states facilities are scheduled for commissioning in the first quarter of 'next year'. However, the evidence from JAMnews and other reports explicitly states they are scheduled to begin operations in the first quarter of 2027, which is significantly further away than 'next year' relative to the 2024/2025 context of the reports.

Claim 5: “the company is constructing around 160,000 square meters in Almaty”
DISPUTED
There is a contradiction in the evidence regarding which city gets which size warehouse. One source states Almaty is getting 160,000 sqm and Astana 100,000 sqm, while JAMnews reports the opposite: Almaty getting 'more than 100,000' and Astana getting 160,000.
