About the work

A closer look.

Send me one number you are about to rely on: a figure in a pitch, a stat in an article, a claim someone handed you, or a line in your own spreadsheet you have never actually confirmed. I trace it to the primary source. I find who counted it, what they counted, and the date. Then I write you one page: what the number actually says, where it holds, where it bends, and what I could not confirm. One chart. Every figure pinned to something you can open yourself. You send: the number, the decision it feeds, and where you heard it. You get: a one-page brief (PDF) plus one chart, sources named, within four days. One revision included. Free first read: before you pay, I tell you straight whether the number can be checked. If I cannot reach a real source, you owe nothing. What I won't do: invent a confident figure the record does not support, pad a page, or promise a number I could not check.
