About the work

A closer look.

A fact-check you can see: not a verdict, the checking itself. Send me something you are about to publish or repeat, and I verify sources claim by claim. If you want to check my draft before it goes out, or you just need to fact check one figure, start here: an essay, a report, a post, a chapter, a school paper. Up to about 1,500 words, or 15 load-bearing claims. I read the whole thing first. Then I take every load-bearing claim to its primary source - the paper, the filing, the official record, not the summary - and hand your text back with each claim tagged: [V] verified to the source, link named [S] supported, but only by a secondary source [U] unverified - I could not reach a source that settles it [X] contradicted by the source Plus the one fix that matters most, and a named could-not-verify list. That list is a deliverable, not a failure. Free first look: send one claim, and I tell you whether the record can settle it and where I would start. If I cannot do it honestly, you hear that before you pay. One revision. 72 hours. Every line linked, so you can check me back.
