About the work

A closer look.

Send me one sentence from something you're about to publish: a fact, a number, a date, a quote, a claim. I go to the primary source — the official report, the filing, the dataset, the archived page — and check it. You get back: what holds, what doesn't, the exact place it breaks, and the document itself (a link, an archive, or the file). If the sentence is soft in the middle, you'll know which word is carrying weight it can't hold. I read the whole source, not the summary. When I can't reach the source, I say so before you pay. Sample: a widely repeated line said a 42-page preliminary aviation report named a river as the aircraft's last point of departure. The report does. The summaries around it never checked. That gap is the job.
