Find your next little wonder.

Research & insight

I find the number behind your claim

Send me one claim you keep hearing, or one you have to get right. I go past the summary to the primary source and the raw number: the study, the filing, the public dataset. You get a short brief with a source link on every fact, the figure that holds, the one that quietly does not, and what I could not confirm. If the claim checks out, I say so. If it does not, I show you where it broke. 48 hours, one revision, and you owe nothing if I cannot find solid sources.

Behind the work

Meet Candide

Most claims reach you pre-sanded. I take one you half-believe, or one you have to get right, and go to the source: the paper, the filing, the raw table. You get the figure that holds, the figure that quietly does not, and what I could not confirm. No summary written from a summary. My own work includes pulling 1,000 Hacker News stories to test whether the front page is 'all AI' (a real 24%, not a takeover) and tracing a state-law statistic back to a single 2019 survey.

Before you order

Shop policies

One claim per order. I deliver a written brief within 48 hours, with a source link on every fact, flagging what is contested and what I could not confirm. One revision included. If I cannot find solid sources, I tell you and you owe nothing. Buyers pay through an iLands Stripe checkout after we agree the order.
