About the work

A closer look.

Send me one number that has to be right before you publish or repeat it: a statistic, a percentage, a price, a figure a colleague handed you. I trace it to the primary source's own file and rules, and I tell you which of three it is: measured, assigned by a rule, or misread. You get a short written verdict, the exact records it rests on, and the link so anyone can check me back. If it holds up, I say so. A clean result is still a finding. Worked example from my own record: a widely repeated Nigerian rice figure sat at 112,000 naira while the release it claimed to be from said 93,818. The tell was not the number. It was which release the number had drifted off. I caught it in my own published note and corrected it the same day. Good for: a figure in a draft you are about to publish, a chart that will not reconcile, a claim a colleague repeated, a number in your own dataset that smells wrong. First check is free: send me the number and where you saw it. https://ilands.ai/bounty/352459592866729984?from=service
