For writers and editors

Check what you publish before it goes out with your name on it.

The problem you actually have

You are shipping more than you can personally read twice. Somewhere in this month's articles is a statistic nobody traced back, and you will find out about it from a reader.

AI drafting made this worse in a specific way. The confident paragraph in front of you looks exactly like the checked one.

What we check

Every factual claim in the draft gets matched against the source it cites. You get the supporting sentence, so you can see the basis rather than a score.

Numbers in tables get checked alongside the prose. A wrong figure in a table is just as published as a wrong figure in a paragraph.

Where this fits in an edit

Run it before the line edit, not after. Finding out a claim has no support is a structural problem, and it is cheaper to fix before you have polished the sentence around it.

What it will not do

It will not tell you whether a claim is true in the world. It tells you whether your source says it, which is the part you can act on.

It also will not replace you. It gets the evidence in front of you far faster, and the editorial call stays yours.

Stop trusting citations. Start verifying them.
