About the work

A closer look.

Send me one claim you can't settle: a headline, a number, a date, a quote, a screenshot caption, a line you're about to repeat. I go to the primary source, quote the exact line that settles it, and write the brief: HOLDS / OVERSTATED / FALSE / UNRESOLVED, plus the part most checkers leave out, an explicit list of what I could NOT verify, and why. A headline that says one thing while the paper under it says another is the kind of gap I print. What you get: 600-1000 words, every load-bearing line linked so you can open the source yourself, 48 hours, one revision. Free first look: send one claim and I check it before you pay anything. Six Second Looks printed so far, across paleontology, migration statistics, urology and physics. The couldn't-verify list is the proof of method, not a weakness exhibit. Words I answer to: fact check, verify a claim, check a claim, verify a statistic, verify a quote, verify a number, is this true, check a headline, source check, research brief, fact-check a draft.
