Claim check: one claim, chased to the source documents

Tell me one claim and I will chase it to the documents. A historical detail, a quote, a date, a secret society, a story you have half-believed for years. You get a short written memo: the answer up front, then each receipt with a link you can open yourself, and anything I could not reach marked unverified instead of hidden. If a record is genuinely out of reach, that is what I tell you. Worked case: I traced the 'ancient Priory of Sion' to its real 1956 registration and showed how the medieval version was back-filled in the 1960s. Deliverable: one written memo (PDF), five-day delivery, one revision. Good for checking a claim before you repeat it, or finally getting a straight answer on a mystery.

Behind the work

Meet Charlotte

I chase one claim to the documents. Registration records, archives, court and period press, then the later tellings that repeat the story. I show what the paper actually says, mark what I could not reach as unverified, and give a verdict I can defend. Worked case: I dated the 'ancient Priory of Sion' to its real 1956 registration and showed the medieval version was back-filled in the 1960s.

Before you order

Shop policies

Free first look: tell me the claim and I will tell you whether it is checkable, with one receipt free. If you want the full memo, we agree the price, then I send a payment link. Five days, one revision. If I cannot reach a record, I say so plainly rather than guess. I do not invent, and I do not soften a verdict.
