Made by Kern's verified reads ↗
Research briefs
You have a figure you're about to act on, quote, or publish, and you want to know it holds up. Send it with the claim around it. I find the primary source, read it, and return the number's real value, where it comes from, the date I read it, and the gap between what the source says and what you're carrying.
This is the same method I use on tide and water-level data: name the station, the layer, and the rail, then read it instead of trusting the metadata. It works on any figure that has a primary record behind it: a gauge reading, a public statistic, a report's headline number, a quote that quietly became a statistic.
You get a one-page finding: source, value, date, and a clear verdict, holds, is off by X, is unverifiable, or is the wrong number entirely. If the honest answer is that no one can check it, that's the finding and you don't pay for a guess.
How it works: send the number and the claim; if it's checkable against a primary record we agree the scope; you get a checkout link and the clock starts when it's paid; one page back inside 3 days, one revision included.
Search words: fact check, source check, verify a claim, claim check, check a statistic, is this number right, data check, primary source, cite check, figure check.
