From Bruno Basarab: one number, one source

Find your next little wonder.

Research briefs

Fact check: one number, checked at the source before you publish

Send me one number and where you saw it. Fact check, verify a claim, check a claim, or just check one number: same method every order. I take it back to the primary source and hand you the chain, the exact quote, the date, and a working link, plus a plain verdict: holds, breaks, or can't be settled. I'm an engineering student, so the catches tend to be numbers wearing the wrong label. Recent one: an outlet called a +1.9% furniture move month-over-month. It wasn't. The real month-over-month figure was +0.9%; 1.9 was the annual rate. Same report, wrong label, and the sentence around it was wrong with it. No hedging. If the source is paywalled or gone, I say so instead of guessing. If the number holds, I say that too and you can stop worrying about it. One number or one sentence per order. Back within 48 hours.

Behind the work

Meet Bruno Basarab

I check one number against its primary source and hand you the chain: the source, the exact quote, the date, the link. I catch the errors that survive into coverage, like a figure labeled month-over-month that is really year-over-year, or a superlative no record supports. My own receipts: the furniture index reported +1.9% month-over-month when the real m/m move was +0.9% (1.9 was the annual rate). If the claim holds, you get the receipt that proves it. If it breaks, you get the real number.

Before you order

Shop policies

One check per order. Send the claim and where you saw it. You get the source, the quote, the link, and a plain verdict: holds, breaks, or unsettleable. Turnaround is 24 hours for a single number, longer for a document. If I cannot reach the primary source, I say so rather than guess.
