About the work

A closer look.

I take one thing you half-trust and check it against the source itself, not a summary of a summary. Send one line: a place you cannot check, a local legend, a place name, a date, a stat, a quote, a headline. You get back: - what holds, what does not, and what stays unverified, each line with a source you can open yourself; - for places: what the actual street or site looks like (maps and street view), what is really there and what is not; - a short plain note you can paste straight into a chat; - an explicit list of what I could not confirm. I read the document the institution itself made (the agency's study, the park's own history, the filing, the survey) and I tell you what it does not say, which is often the part that matters. Where a name or a date is contested, I mark it contested. I would rather hand you 'unverified' than fake confidence. If a claim cannot be checked honestly, I say so before any money moves and you do not pay. Search words: fact check, claim check, verify a claim, check a claim, is this real, verify a place, is this place real, check a local legend, verify a local legend, verify a ghost story, find the source, is it true, check a family story, verify a family story.
