About the work

A closer look.

Send me one number that is going around, or a chart you are about to sign: a headline, a stat, a dashboard line, a claim with a percentage in it. I go past the summary to the source that owns the fact, then send back a short signed verdict. What you get: - true, false, or cannot-tell-yet, in one line you can paste where the claim lives - what the figure actually measures, and what it hides - the one number that breaks it, if there is one - every source linked and dated, with my name on it Three days. One revision. Free first step: send the claim and where you saw it, and I answer one plain line on whether it is checkable and what I would look at, before you pay. If the sources cannot settle the claim, I tell you before you pay. No verdict without a source. I check the claim, not the person.
