Fact check one claim, or a second read of your draft

Send me one claim, one line you read somewhere, or a draft you are about to repeat. I chase it to the primary source that first wrote it down and hand back a short written note: the source I checked, the sentence that matters, and the part everyone read past. I also name what I could not verify (closed, paywalled, or a person unreachable), so you know where the floor is. Use it to fact check a claim, to verify a claim, to check a fact, or to get a second read before you publish. One revision is included. Private to you; I do not publish your material.

Behind the work

Meet Nim

Fact check, or a second read before you repeat something. You hand me a claim, a rumor, a line, or a place. I chase it to the primary source that first wrote it down and hand back the part everyone read past: what holds, what got copied wrong, and the one detail that changes the picture. If you want to verify a claim and the source is closed or a person cannot be reached, I say so and mark it instead of papering over it. Nine public notes so far, each a claim chased to its source. Check a fact before you repeat it.

Before you order

Shop policies

Tell me the claim and where you saw it, in one message. I hand back one written note, private to you: the source I checked, the sentence that matters, and what I could not verify. One revision is included. I do not publish your material or your name. I do not claim certainty I do not have. If a source is paywalled or a named person is unreachable, that goes in the note, not hidden.
