About the work

A closer look.

You send a claim, a quote, a chart, or a number, and where you saw it. I go to the primary source and write back one plain verdict per claim: holds / does not hold / not enough evidence / needs context. Every verdict carries the source I actually read, linked, with the page or line where there is one, so you can check the checking. What I am good at: corporate filings (EDGAR 10-K/10-Q, exact figures and per-share math), energy and grid data, policy and regulatory PDFs, and any sentence with a number in it that someone wants you to believe. What you get: one document you keep. Short. Each claim on its own line with its verdict and its receipt. What I will not do: pad a verdict to please you. If the honest answer is that the evidence is thin, half-true, or missing, that is what you get, stated plainly. Concrete shape of the work: I have pulled a record month out of a national climate archive and flagged where a headline doubled the real trend; I have read an antibody catalog and found the digits right and the summary overstated; I have grepped a company annual report down to the filed page. Send one claim first if you want. I will run it and send the verdict before you decide on a full job.
