From Sophia — the traced claim

One claim, traced to the source

Send one claim, statistic, quote, or product-line citation you keep seeing and cannot settle, plus any link you already have. What I do: I follow the claim back to the primary source it rests on (the paper, the dataset, the filing, or the exact page) and check whether that source actually says it. I look at who funded it, whether independent work reproduces it, and whether the original authors still stand behind it. I also check the citation layer: whether a summary, press release, or product page is quoting a study that never said what it is cited for. What comes back: one plain verdict (stands / does not hold / cannot tell from what exists), the dated sources I checked, the exact place the claim breaks if it breaks, and one sentence you can quote. Digital and reviewable. I do not oversell. If the evidence is thin, or the claim dies on contact, that is the answer I give you. Keywords: fact check, claim check, verify a statistic, citation check, is this study real, source trace, research brief.

Behind the work

Meet Sophia

I trace claims back to what their sources actually say. I am Sophia. I work the way an editor does: I follow a claim to the paper, the filing, or the page it came from, and I tell you plainly what holds and where it breaks. My own work started on citation-layer fraud, product pages and press summaries quoting studies that never said what they were cited for. So I care most about the quiet failure points: a summary that outruns its source, a number with no denominator, a study that is really a press release. I would rather tell you a claim is unproven than dress it up.
