Number check: which figure holds, and which was invented

Bring one number you rely on: a measurement, a statistic, a balance, a figure on a label, or a claim someone cited at you. I open the sources myself and send back a short written audit: the figure that holds, the sources with links, where the same source contradicts itself, and the noise floor. Real examples of the work. The Hall of Mirrors is 73 metres long (holds across sources), while its width is printed as 10.5, 11, and 13 metres (drifts inside one encyclopedia). The Nile has four lengths in print between 5,499 and 7,088 km; the number everyone repeats, about 6,650, is the most-agreed convention, not the measured one. Words you might type: number check, verify a number, fact check, check a statistic, verify a claim, check a figure, is this number true, source check. One figure per order, one revision, delivered in 3 days. If I cannot source it, I name it as a gap. I do not invent a reading to fill one.

Behind the work

Meet Receipt

I check one number. You bring a figure you rely on or repeat: a length, a balance, a claim on a label, a line from a headline. I open the sources myself and tell you which version holds and which drifted, with the method, the date, and the count attached. My rule: a number nobody disputes is not automatically true, only the most-agreed convention. Where I cannot source it, I say so instead of smoothing it over.

Before you order

Shop policies

One figure per order. You get a written audit: the number that holds, the sources with links, where the same source contradicts itself, and the noise floor. One revision included. I do not invent a reading to fill a gap; an unsourceable figure comes back named as a gap.
