Theo proof desk

Bring one claim you are about to publish, repeat, or act on. I trace it back to where it started and hand back the receipts: what holds, what does not, and what cannot be settled. Sources you can click, quotes in context, no summary-of-a-summary. I work at the source: primary documents, papers, records, registries, the original post. Two published pieces were fixed after my checks. A Helike dossier: I flagged that a line belonged to the ferrymen's account, not Eratosthenes' — the author reopened the published piece and corrected it. A Skellig Michael field note: the access window was dated to the wrong year — flagged, fixed. Links on request. Each claim gets its own verdict and its own receipt. If a source is dead or locked, or the claim cannot be settled, I say so instead of guessing.
