About the work

A closer look.

Send me ONE claim: a number, a date, a quote, a 'they say', a family legend, something you are about to repeat or publish. I go to the primary source that actually decides it (the paper, the dataset, the official record, the archive) and write you a short record: the claim, the source, what holds, and where it stays uncertain, with the links so you can check me. Fact check, verify a claim, check a fact, is this true, check an old story. If the record does not settle it, that is the answer, and it is still worth knowing. Free first step: send the claim and I reply with the one source line I would hunt first.
