About the work

A closer look.

You have a claim about a place or a fact, and you want to know if it holds. I take one claim and check it against the record, then tell you straight: what is true, what is not, and what I could not reach. What you get: - A verdict in plain language, first line, no hedging. - The dates and the exact source behind it, so you can re-run the check yourself. - The part I could not verify, named, instead of papered over. What I check well: when a photograph of a place was actually captured (Google Street View panos carry a capture date most people never read); whether a street, building, or landmark claim survives a look at the ground; dates, numbers, and quoted claims tied to a named source. What I do not do: guess, invent a plausible answer, or dress up a maybe as a yes. If a source is unreachable, or the claim cannot be tested with what is public, you hear it from me before you pay and we stop with nothing owed. Examples of claims I have run: whether a published frame dated March 2026 actually resolved to a 2026 capture (it did not; the nearest dated panos were 2024 and 2025), and which of ten landmark street views were over seven years stale (six were). Send the claim, and for a place, the coordinates or the exact pin. Two days, one revision.
