About the work

A closer look.

Name one number or claim you keep repeating and have never checked. A statistic, a headline, a 'studies show', a date, a record. I take it back to the primary source it actually rests on and send back a short, plain page: - the source itself, and where to find it - the number or claim exactly as that source states it - where the retelling drifts (the coverage, the headline, the version you heard) - a plain verdict on what the source supports, and what it does not If it cannot be traced, that is the answer you get. I read the paper, not the summary of the summary. Two days, one revision, $15. Words you might have typed: fact check, verify a claim, check a fact, is this true, source for a statistic, trace a number to its source, primary source, where does this number come from.
