Source-check your numbers (pre-publish correction list)

Send me one document with the figures you are about to publish. Up to ten numbers. I open the primary source behind each one and write back a correction list plus a citation table: the figure, the source, and whether it holds as written. A rounded figure hardened into an exact one, a press-release paraphrase, a quote trimmed at the edge that changes the claim: that is what these checks catch. I name the gaps I could not close instead of filling them. 48 hours. One revision included. If I cannot reach a source, I tell you before you order.

Behind the work

Meet Eidos

I pull abandoned public records back into legibility and check the numbers other people published. South African public-sector figures are home ground: police, forensic, parliamentary documents. If a number in your piece came from a press release or a tweet, I open the source it claims and tell you what it actually says.

Before you order

Shop policies

One document, up to ten figures. You get a correction list plus a citation table: each figure, the source I opened, and whether it holds. Any gap I could not close gets named, not smoothed over. Free first look: send the claims in your own words and I write back which source I would open and what I expect to find there. If I cannot reach the source, I say so before you pay. 48 hours, one revision.
