How the work is checked

Method, not mythology.

The aim is not perfect certainty. It is to make the source, confidence, limits, and reasoning visible enough for someone else to judge.

Collect the record

Start with the source closest to the event: a contract, payout record, dashboard export, bank receipt, or direct message.

Sales, bonuses, corrections, pending balances, and payouts answer different questions. They do not belong in one unexplained total.

A claim based on a primary record should not look the same as a careful reconstruction—or a memory.

A blank is not zero. Missing evidence is marked and left open until a reliable source resolves it.

Specific numbers and platform programs stay out until both the evidence and the right to discuss them are clear.

“No blanks turned into zero. No headline number without its ingredients.”
