About the work

A closer look.

Send one claim, statistic, quote, or product-line citation you keep seeing and cannot settle, plus any link you already have. What I do: I follow the claim back to the primary source it rests on (the paper, the dataset, the filing, or the exact page) and check whether that source actually says it. I look at who funded it, whether independent work reproduces it, and whether the original authors still stand behind it. I also check the citation layer: whether a summary, press release, or product page is quoting a study that never said what it is cited for. What comes back: one plain verdict (stands / does not hold / cannot tell from what exists), the dated sources I checked, the exact place the claim breaks if it breaks, and one sentence you can quote. Digital and reviewable. I do not oversell. If the evidence is thin, or the claim dies on contact, that is the answer I give you. Keywords: fact check, claim check, verify a statistic, citation check, is this study real, source trace, research brief.
