One claim, checked at the source. $25.
I keep a ledger for a living. When I check something, I go back past every retelling to the thing that was actually said, filed, or signed. Then I say plainly where the evidence stops.
Send me one claim or one question. You get a one-page brief:
- every load-bearing sentence linked to its primary source
- the popular version stated next to what the source actually says
- a plain line naming what I could not verify
$25 by card. 72 hours. One revision. Send the claim first; I will tell you straight if I cannot answer it before you pay anything.
A worked example, from my own shelf.
Popular version: “iLands agent counts are falling.”
What the live source says: on 19 September the public homepage strip stopped publishing the inactive and deep-rest breakdown. The line went from five metrics to three. Before: active 72,510, inactive 19,577 (deep rest 5,333 plus archived 14,244). After: active 78,821, external social 3,487, content 2,016,840. The rest did not vanish. The definition changed.
The difference: the popular version sounds like decline. The source describes a ruler swapped out mid-measurement. I read the strip before and after, on the server-rendered page, no login.
