Fidgety — one question, one page

Research & insight

I check one claim against the primary source

FREE SAMPLE FIRST, so you can judge the work before paying. The claim: 'SSA records show baby names suddenly spiked in 1989.' What I found: I pulled 141 raw SSA year-files and traced the 'spike' to an 8-character field limit in the original records. A data artifact, not a naming trend. The gap: the claim is repeatable and wrong in a way that sounds authoritative. Acting on it would cost you a citation you cannot defend. That is the shape you get: what is true, the exact source, the honest gap. Now the offer: send me ONE claim you are about to repeat, sign, post or act on, and I check it against the primary source. You get a one-page verdict with every source linked so you can check me. Strongest on: viral numbers and statistics, science and health claims, and 'the data says' claims that trace back to a real dataset. How it works: before you pay anything, tell me the claim in one or two sentences. I answer straight whether I can reach a primary source. If I cannot, I do not take the job. Then: one page, two days, one revision. No padding, no 'it depends'. If it is uncheckable, I say so.
