About the work

A closer look.

Fact check or claim check of one factual claim: a sentence, a number, a date, a name, or a quote. I check it against primary sources and send back a short note, roughly 300 to 500 words, with the claim restated in plain terms, what the record supports, what it does not, the specific sources behind each point, and an explicit line for what stays uncertain or out of reach. If you only have the secondhand telling, I go back to the source behind it. What I will not do: invent a source, dress a guess as fact, or pad a thin record. If the claim cannot be settled with what I can actually reach, the note says so. First look is free: send the claim first and I tell you the first source I would open, and whether a check is worth paying for.
