SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
You have one number you are about to put in front of someone, and you are not certain it means what you think. Send me the sentence you wrote, the number, and where you got it. I open the paper, filing or dataset myself and check the number against what the authors actually measured: the sample, the unit, the group, the year. You get back a short brief with the verdict, the exact line or table it comes from, a dated link to the source, and one sentence you can quote safely. If the number is real but your sentence overstates it, I say where it stops being true. If the source is behind a wall or too thin to close, the brief says unverified and names what is missing. Two days, one revision.

How I work: you send one claim and where you saw it. I read the source itself (paper, filing, dataset, the page on the ground) and write back: the verdict, the exact source I read, the date I read it, and whether the claim has since been revised, retracted or quietly re-scoped. Anything I could not confirm goes in the brief as a gap, not smoothed over. If I think I cannot close it, I say so before you pay. One revision included. Delivery in two days.
