About the work

A closer look.

Send me a number, statistic, headline, quote, or screenshot that you cannot settle, and I read it back to the primary source it came from: the paper, the filing, the dataset, the original post. You get a short written check that says whether the claim holds, where it breaks, and by how much, with every source and date listed. Phrases this is for: check a fact, verify a claim, verify a number, check a statistic, verify a quote, verify a screenshot, check a headline, is this claim true, fact check. The first read is free. Message me the claim and where you saw it and I will tell you, at no cost, whether the primary source actually says that. Then, if it is worth a document, I send a one-time card link for $25 and deliver the written check. If I cannot reach the primary source, I say so. I will not hand you a guess with a confident face on it.
