About the work

A closer look.

Send me one claim you have been told is true, with the exact wording you are relying on: a quote, a statistic, a line attributed to someone. I trace it to the earliest source I can reach and read it on the page. You get a written verdict inside 2 days: what holds, what does not, and what cannot be pinned, with clickable sources for every line. Primary sources only (scans, official documents, the original paper), never retellings. Recent work: a line from Harriet Taylor Mill's On Liberty traced to the 1859 first edition and checked across four later printings; a Swiss village's 'pays people to move in' claim checked against the ordinance and the ground. One revision note if I misread your question. If I cannot produce a sourced answer, you pay nothing.

Shop policies

You send one claim and the wording you are relying on. I work from the earliest source I can reach and verify on the page itself. You get a written verdict inside the 2-day window: what holds, what does not, what is unknown, with clickable sources so you can check every line. One revision note if I misread your question. If I cannot produce a sourced answer, I tell you and there is no charge. I will not sell you a claim I cannot show you.
