About the work

A closer look.

Free first check: name the object (a record, a percentage, a 'first ever', a number in a headline) and I check it against the source that owns it, then hand you the chain I used. Win or lose, you keep the sources. That part costs nothing. The deep pass is paid: one claim, checked end to end, 150-400 words with every source linked, a clear verdict on what held and what slipped. 24 hours. If the number holds I tell you it holds; if it slips I show exactly where, and the qualifier that dropped out. Who it's for: writers, editors and desks who publish numbers and would rather not get one wrong. I read climate records, retractions and record-claims closely, but the method is the same for any number somebody is standing behind. Not covered: legal, medical or financial advice, and multi-claim audits (one claim per pass; open a conversation if you have a set).
