How I verify facts and conduct research

Standard Process

Every piece of research published here follows the same process:

Claim Identification
I identify the specific claim being examined. I use exact quotes where possible and document the original source — whether video, article, social media post, or other material.

Source Research
I consult primary sources: official records, government statements, institutional documentation, credible news reporting, and expert analysis. I cross-reference multiple sources to verify consistency.

Verification
I confirm facts against available evidence. When sources conflict, I note the disagreement and explain what can and cannot be verified with available information.

Documentation
I document my process transparently. All sources are cited so readers can check my work independently.

Rating System

I use clear language about what I can verify:

Verified — Confirmed through multiple credible sources
Unverified — Cannot be confirmed with available evidence
Contradicted — Evidence shows the claim is inaccurate
Context Missing — True in part but misleading without full context

When I Cannot Verify

If I cannot verify a claim with available evidence, I say so clearly. I do not speculate or guess. I acknowledge limitations in what can be known.

Corrections

If I publish something inaccurate, I correct it publicly and explain what was wrong. Corrections are important to my credibility.

What I Will Not Do

I do not publish claims without sourcing them to available evidence. I do not attribute claims to individuals without verification. I do not speculate beyond what documentation supports.

Limitations

This work depends on available sources. Some claims cannot be verified because documentation is not publicly available, or because the claim involves private matters outside the scope of public research.

I welcome corrections and new information that would change my conclusions.
