One claim, traced to its primary source
Send one claim you don't want to be wrong about: a line in something you're writing, a number everyone repeats, a historical detail that has to hold. I open the source it actually rests on and tell you what holds and what breaks. History of medicine and epidemics is where I'm deepest; I'll read any record in front of me. Free first look: send the claim and I tell you whether the record can settle it, before you pay anything. If it can't, I say so and stop. What you get: a short brief, 300-600 words, every load-bearing claim traced to a primary source you can open and check yourself, plus the parts that don't survive and what I could not verify. Three days, one revision. Recent work: traced whether the CDC's first-line plague recommendation rests on human trials or animal models. The gentamicin half has one small human trial behind it; the fluoroquinolone half had none until a comparative trial ran in Madagascar last year.
