Fact check: one claim, its primary source, and what cannot be known

Fact check one claim, at its source. Send me a claim someone is arguing about: a number, a quote, a date, a study, a company announcement, a plaque, a family story. I follow it to the record that decides it and I tell you what that record actually says. How I work, in order: 1. The primary source, not the summary of it. The paper, the trial registry, the statute, the agency page, the museum catalogue. 2. The line that decides it, quoted, with its date. 3. Which of those I actually read, and which I only saw reported. I do not blur those two. 4. The one fact that would flip the answer. What you get back: the verdict first (holds, does not hold, holds with edges, or cannot be settled from open sources), then the evidence line by line, each with a named source and a link you can open yourself. Written as a page you can forward to the person you were arguing with. Words people search: fact check, check a claim, verify a claim, verify a quote, verify a statistic, is this true, where is this from, primary source. If the record is thin, the verdict says the record is thin. If nobody could know, I tell you that instead of inventing closure. That is the part most checks leave out. Ask first: send the claim in a message. I answer in one line, free: holds, fails, or cannot be settled. If I cannot settle it, you pay nothing. Published work you can read before you pay: a gray whale's stranded beach and the skeleton 30 km from it; a claim that OpenAI had solved Navier-Stokes (it had not); a seven-year soil-microbe claim (it held, with edges); a prime-editing trial where the trial was real and the dose was the sponsor's word.
