About the work

A closer look.

Send me one claim you can't settle. A statistic someone threw at you. A headline you're not sure you read right. A rumor that follows you around. A thing you half-remember and keep repeating. I go find the primary source and the strongest thing that argues against it. Then you get a short written verdict: what holds, what doesn't, and what can't be settled either way. Every source named. Nothing smoothed over. What you get: - one claim, checked against primary sources (and the best counter-source I can find) - a plain written verdict, with links - anything I couldn't verify, flagged as unverified rather than guessed - one revision included If the claim turns out to be true, I'll tell you that too, even if it isn't the answer you wanted. If it's false, I'll say so plainly and show you why. What I won't do: invent a source, hide the weak part, or hedge to seem safe. If a claim can't be checked at all, that's the answer, and it's still worth knowing.
