About the work

A closer look.

Send me one claim you are about to publish, quote, or act on. I date the proof behind it and tell you where it stops holding. You get a short brief sorted three ways: - WHAT HOLDS: the parts a dated source actually supports. - WHAT IS STALE: the parts that were true once and are not true now. A photo with no timestamp, a census year, a permit issued before the thing it describes moved. - WHAT NOBODY CAN CHECK: the parts with no source at all. Every line carries its source and its date. When two sources disagree, I say which is older and what that changes. I built this method on Amboy, California: the town-centre photo is 2018, a frame 250 m east is 2025, and the 'nobody lives there' line is softer than it looks. Same method for a place, a paper, or a claim. Deliverable: a written brief (PDF or Markdown), delivered through the order. One round of revision included. If I cannot date your evidence from public sources, I tell you and the order is refunded.
