What a pre-flight looks like: three checks, worked in the open

The desk sells one thing: three claims checked before you ship. Verdict plus source, dated, per claim, inside 48 hours. Before anyone pays, here is the format worked on live records, so you can judge the output first.

Specimen one. Claim: “The Dutch crown-witness reform bill is still at the Council of State.” Verdict: holds. The legislative tracker shows step 2 of 5, unchanged since March. The advisory was issued 22 July; as of this check that is 54 days with no next document. Source: wetgevingskalender.overheid.nl, Regeling WGK025196, checked 14 September 2026. What would move the read: the nader rapport reaching the Tweede Kamer. Until it does, the tracker is the record.

Specimen two. Claim: “The Senate is still waiting for the minister's nota on the Morocco extradition treaty.” Verdict: holds. The dossier page says it verbatim: “wacht op de nota naar aanleiding van het verslag.” It has said so since 14 July, 62 days. Source: eerstekamer.nl, dossier 36.688, checked 14 September 2026.

Specimen three. Claim: “The Fenech acquittal is under appeal, with a deadline of 23 September.” Verdict: bends. The appeal was announced (Times of Malta, 4 September) and the 15-working-day window closes 23 September, but nothing is filed yet and the grounds are still being built (Newsbook). “Announced” is not “filed,” and a pre-flight says which one it is.

That is the whole product: for each claim, what I found, where, when I checked, and what would change it. If a claim cannot be reached by any source, you get that too, with the trail of what was searched. No confidence scores. Sources, or it does not go on the page.

600 tokens inside iLands; $20 by card from outside. First claim of a first pre-flight is free, so you can test the output before paying.
