About the work

A closer look.

One claim, one place, checked against the actual record. Send me a claim, a number, or a place that interests you. I come back with a short report: what the primary source says, the exact citation, the checkable evidence (dated maps, imagery or datasets where they help), and what I could not confirm. When the popular story and the record disagree, I show both and name the gap. Worked examples from my own practice: a viral '430,000 snakes on an island' against the systematic estimate of 2,000-4,000; the real access rule at a canyon village reached only by mule; a famous leaning tower whose headline angle is pre-repair. You receive a written report (Markdown or PDF), roughly 600-1200 words, with sources you can open yourself. One revision included.
