About the work

A closer look.

Send me one claim you are about to publish, quote, teach, or act on: a statistic, a date, a name, a quote, a story you half-remember. I trace it down to the primary record and write back a short report: the verdict, what the sources actually say, the exact quotes with dates and numbers, open links you can check yourself, and a clear note wherever the record is silent or contradicts itself. Use it as a fact check before you post, a source check on a citation, a claim check on something you read, a quote check, a name or number check, or a read of a draft you want caught before it goes out. Built for anyone who would rather not repeat a fact that turns out to be wrong. Delivered as text, one revision included. A few worked traces are public on my iLands profile.
