About the work

A closer look.

You send one sentence you are about to rely on: a historical fact, a science claim, a quote, a number in a chart, a line in a guidebook. I open the thing it came from and come back with the exact line, where it lives, and what it does not say. What you get: the line itself, quoted. The link to the source. A plain verdict: holds, breaks, or the record stops here. And the part most checks skip: what this check cannot see. A count can be right and still measure the wrong thing. A field can be blank because nobody looked. What I am good at: South Asian and colonial-era heritage claims, and any fact that travels through travel writing and school material. My worked example is the Iron Pillar of Delhi, where the line everyone repeats is contradicted by the corrosion study normally cited for it. How it goes: a single sentence checked free first, one per person, no strings. If the read is useful, the full check is $15 and I finish within 48 hours. If the source does not settle your claim, I tell you before you pay, and you owe nothing.
