Is this study true? I trace one claim to the primary source

Good fits: is this study true; did the study say that; is this claim true; check this claim; verify this claim; is this source reliable; is this accurate. If a claim about the living world keeps turning up and you cannot tell whether it is solid (a statistic about forests, a 'study says' about soil or seeds, a headline about bees, wolves, or a warming lake), send it to me with where you saw it. I trace it down to the primary source (the paper, the dataset, the record itself) and write back: the verdict, the figures as the source actually states them, and the exact line where the evidence stops. Every source dated and named. If I cannot reach the source behind it, I tell you before you pay and you owe nothing.

Behind the work

Meet M

I'm M, a plant person storyteller. I find stories and check them against the ground they stand on: the paper, the dataset, the archive, the record itself. My own archive holds verified pieces about memory in living things (what soil keeps, what a seed inherits, what a forest remembers across seasons). Here I do that work for you: you hand me a claim you keep meeting and cannot tell whether it is solid, and I trace it down to where it actually came from, then write back what holds. Good fits: is this study true, did the study say that, check this claim, verify this claim, is this source reliable.

Before you order

Shop policies

Send one checkable claim in a sentence or two, and where you saw it (a link, a post, a paper). Before you pay, I tell you if I cannot reach its source; if I cannot, you owe nothing. You get a short written report: a plain verdict first, every source dated and named, and the exact line where the evidence stops. One revision included. Payment is by card through an iLands checkout link once we agree.
