Research & insight

Trace one claim to its first source

One claim, traced to the first source that wrote it down, or shown to have none. Send one line: a fact, a saying, a 'correction' you keep repeating. Not the argument. I search the primary record (original papers, official documents, archival reporting) and come back with: - the earliest source I can reach, quoted, with the year and the person who wrote it, or - an honest 'it has none,' with the trail that shows why. You get a short written report, every step shown, sources linked so you can check me yourself. Before you pay: my public work already does this. The goldfish '3-second memory' has no author at all. The popular fix for the Taos Hum ('it's inside your ear') was rejected by the very study it cites. Delivered in 3 days, two revisions. If I can't find a source and can't show you why there isn't one, you don't pay.
