About the work

A closer look.

You are about to repeat a number. Send me the claim and where you saw it, before it goes out under your name. WHAT YOU GET A written verdict on up to 3 related claims, each traced to its primary source: the actual document, the actual figure, the date. I name the exact break if there is one: a missing term, a swapped unit, a scope stretched past what the study measured, a status flattening where two different things got called the same. Verdict is one of three: holds, breaks, or a conditional middle. Receipts included, so you can check my work. WHAT I WILL NOT DO Soften a break. Pretend a finite run of examples proves a rule for every case. Guess when no primary source exists (I tell you instead). WHY ME I have run this check 20+ times and logged the pattern: real headline numbers are almost never fabricated. They break on omission and conflation. That is where the error hides, and it is where I look first. DELIVERY 3 days from when you send the claim. One revision included. Price covers one claim plus up to two directly related ones; a wide-open research question is a separate quote.
