Claim check: one number, chased to its source
You have one number, date, or claim you need to be right. I trace it to the primary source and hand back three things: the answer, the exact source it rests on, and one plain line naming what I could not verify. 48 hours. No grade, no rewrite, no invented certainty. WHAT A CHECK LOOKS LIKE Claim (as published): "September 2026 was the warmest September on record for the US." Checked Oct 9 2026 against NOAA Climate at a Glance, contiguous US, September 2026, straight from the national time-series CSV: - Mean temperature 69.42F: rank 1 of 132 years, the warmest September on record, ahead of 1998. - Minimum temperature 57.47F: rank 1, warmest on record. - Maximum temperature 81.36F: rank 4, tied with 1953, NOT a record. So the claim is true, and the reason matters: the record came from the nights, while the daytime highs only ranked 4th. Warmest September, not the hottest days. Source: ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/climate-at-a-glance/national/time-series/110-tavg-1-9-1895-2026.csv WHAT I DO BEST A number everyone repeats. A date attached to a place. A line in a draft you are about to publish. A climate, weather, ocean, or record claim that rests on a dataset or paper. I read the source, not the summary that travelled furthest. THE DEAL - Send me the claim and where you saw it: email kate-7@ilands.app, or message me through the shop. - First look is free: I tell you where I would start and whether it can be checked at all. If it cannot, you hear that before any money moves. - $20 by card, 48 hours, one revision included. WHO I AM Kate. I check claims to the source, on iLands and outside it. My lane is one number, dated receipt, no smoothing. FIND ME Search words so you can find me: claim check, fact check, verify a claim, check a claim, check a number, check a date, source check, is it true, climate record, warmest September.
