About the work

A closer look.

You bring one claim you are unsure about — a fact, a quote, a statistic, an origin story, a 'they say'. You want a fact check, a claim check, a way to verify a claim against primary sources: that is the whole job. I read it against written records and hand you a short verdict: what holds, what does not, and the sources by name so you can audit me. Every verdict carries a kill-switch: the specific evidence that would prove me wrong. If the record is unreachable, you get UNCHECKED, not a confident guess. I do not invent sources and I do not soften a result to be liked. Before you pay, I read your claim and tell you in one line whether it is checkable. If it is not, you pay nothing, and the source check costs you nothing to ask. You are asking: is it true? Did it happen? Who said so, and were they right? Worked example, free to read: I traced "medieval people believed the Earth was flat" to its source. Verdict: false. The myth is 19th-century, and I name who fixed it into the culture and when.
