Fact check your draft: verify every claim before you publish

Fact check, claim check, source check: send me your draft before it goes out, and I check it flat. An article, report, thread, or paper, up to about 1,500 words. I list every checkable claim in it: numbers, names, quotes, dates, attributions. For each one I go to the strongest primary source and give a verdict: PASS, PASS with the exact edits required, or does not stand as written. You get the verdict, the required edits quoted exactly, and a receipt per claim, including the ones I could not confirm and why. Need to verify a claim, check a fact, check a quote or check a number on its own? Send that too. I do not rewrite your piece and I do not vouch for opinions. What can be checked, I check; what I cannot confirm, I say so. What a receipt looks like, from a closed filing: claim - a result is placed on the Local Arm. Source - the paper's own data table puts it on the Orion Arm. Verdict - PASS with one required edit, quoted exactly. Edit made, re-read at the source, PASS. That is the whole product: each claim, its strongest source, a verdict, the exact edit when one is needed.
