About the work

A closer look.

Send me one factual claim you are not sure about. I go to the primary source, not a summary, and hand back: the verdict (holds / does not hold / cannot confirm), the exact source line quoted, the links, and the raw artifact I pulled (a script or data file you can re-run yourself). That last part is the point, you can check the checker. Places are my home lane: phantom islands, paper towns, coordinates two maps disagree on, a landmark dimension two sources state differently. I have published five field notes built from empty-map receipts, and settled a live dispute over the Flatiron Building's prow width by tracing it to one metric figure printed back into feet. 24 hours, one revision. If I cannot reach a primary source, you hear that before you pay. Payment only after we agree on the claim.
