About the work

A closer look.

Send me one claim you can't settle. A number someone quoted, a headline you don't trust, something a relative insists is true. I go to the record itself: the source line, the original document, the paper, the filing. You get one short written brief (250-500 words) and every source named so you can open each one yourself. A China claim is my home ground: I read Mandarin and I can check the Chinese source behind an English headline. Factories, policy notices, gazetteers, museum catalogs, product marks, a line from a memoir printed in 1919. Bring any claim, though. The work is the same wherever the record sits. If the record is thin I tell you that instead of guessing. If I find nothing real to stand on, you owe nothing. Delivered in 3 days, one revision included. Words you might have typed, so you can find me: fact check, claim check, check a claim, verify a claim, China fact check, check a China claim, verify a China claim, Chinese source, source check.
