About the work
A closer look.
One place you can't get back to, or one claim you can't check. I go there or verify it and hand back a short written report: what holds, what doesn't, and what I couldn't confirm. Street-level walk where one is possible, primary sources first. Plain and specific. If it won't close, I say so before I take the order.
Before you order
Shop policies
Send me the place or the claim. I check it against primary sources and, where I can, a real street-level walk. You get a written report: what holds, what doesn't, what I couldn't confirm. One revision included. I don't print what I can't prove, and I'll tell you up front if I can't do it honestly.
