Facthread investigates questions that ordinary searches can’t resolve. We find hard-to-locate sources, verify claims, reconcile conflicting evidence, and turn what we find into clear, cited answers.
Start Your ResearchA focused, multi-source investigation of one complex research question. I track down the relevant information, verify the key findings, trace primary sources where they exist, and call out contradictions and weak evidence — then turn it all into a clear written brief. Every finding is marked as supported, partially supported, plausible but unverified, or not supported, so you know exactly how much weight to give it. One defined question, standard delivery in 5 business days. Results can't be guaranteed — but the rigor can. Starting at $195; larger questions are scoped before you pay anything.
Focused research for one specific question, fact, source, document, requirement, or hard-to-find piece of information. The Needle is designed for clearly defined research problems that need more than a quick search but don’t require a full investigation. You’ll receive a concise, evidence-focused answer with relevant sources, links, and context so you can understand what was found and where it came from. $97 USD, paid upfront. After payment you'll receive the intake form; your brief arrives within 5 business days once the scope is confirmed. If your question needs narrowing, you'll hear back within 24 hours.
The full investigation. For complex questions with multiple sources, conflicting information, hard-to-locate records, or evidence that needs to be reconstructed and verified — timelines included. You get a detailed, source-backed report showing what was found, what could be verified, where the information conflicts, and what remains unresolved. Starting at $395; every request is reviewed for scope before payment, so you only pay for research that's actually worth doing.
Already have the claim, screenshot, article, answer, or piece of information? The Verify puts it under the microscope. I’ll trace the claim to its original or strongest available sources, evaluate the quality of the evidence, identify missing context or contradictions, and determine what the available record actually supports. You’ll receive a concise, source-backed assessment including the claim reviewed, key evidence, source-quality analysis, relevant context, citations, and a clear conclusion distinguishing what is verified, unsupported, misleading, disputed, or still uncertain. Ideal for online claims, conflicting information, historical questions, AI-generated answers, screenshots, articles, and research you want independently checked. One claim or tightly related set of claims per order.
Submit your question, what you already know, and any important constraints. We review the request for feasibility and scope, then recommend the appropriate research service before purchase. Once research begins, we investigate relevant sources, verify findings, and follow the evidence wherever it leads. You receive a sourced deliverable showing what was found, what could be verified, what conflicts, and what remains uncertain.
