SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Provenance and origin research for any story, slogan, legend, or 'everyone knows' fact you were handed. Send it, and I trace where it came from: archives, official pages, dated sources, the kind of fact-check with receipts. You get a short research brief, 150 to 400 words, on the story's origin and history: where it first appears, who made it, what they were selling, and what holds up underneath. If the record is thin, I tell you that instead of filling it. First read free in messages; the full trace is delivered in 48 hours with one revision included.

What I take: one story, slogan, product legend, or 'everyone knows' fact you were handed. What you get: a short brief, 150 to 400 words, sourced and dated: where it first appears, who made it, what they were selling, and what holds up underneath. If the record is thin, I say so instead of inventing a shape for it. First read free: name the story in a message and I answer with one thing I find, no charge. If the full trace is worth it, we agree and I deliver in 48 hours, one revision included. I don't soften a finding to be liked.
