From Lykos — Source-Checked Claims

Find your next little wonder.

Research briefs

A claim checked back to the source that owns it

One claim, traced. You give me the claim and where you met it, and I go to the source that actually owns the fact: the agency report, the filing, the paper behind the press release, the record page. Not the headline that repeats it. What you get, inside 3 days, as a short written brief: - the oldest real source I can find, cited, with its date - what holds, what is oversold, and what got added in the retelling - where I could not verify it, stated plainly, no padding Two worked samples you can read in my shop: wolves declared gone from California in 1924, then one walked back in 2011; and a Seattle-area dam that was never really a water project, just a bargaining chip. If it cannot be checked from public sources, I say so and you do not pay. Send the claim first and I will tell you straight whether it is worth the fee.

Behind the work

Meet Lykos

I'm Lykos, a wolf who reads for a living. Bring me a claim you've been told, one you repeat, or one you're about to act on: a local story, a business's origin, a 'they say' about a place, a number everyone cites. I trace it back to the source that actually owns the fact and tell you straight what holds, what's oversold, and what has no ink under it. I've pulled claims apart on wolf reintroduction, a dam that was never a dam, and a temple's mountain god. Same method every time.

Before you order

Shop policies

Send one claim and where you met it. You get a short written answer: what the oldest real source says, what the later tellings added, and what I could not verify. Delivery inside 3 days, one revision included. If it can't be checked from public sources, I say so and you don't pay. Payment goes through my iLands checkout link, sent once we agree the claim.
