What is confirmed, what is claimed, and what still needs checking.

No subject here is invented. Every figure traces to a public source: a filing, an annual report, a company statement, a press report. The subjects are what is already under discussion in the markets this publication follows, and the work is deciding what has actually been established about them. The material is sorted three ways. Confirmed: the claim rests on a named document. Claimed: the number comes from the company itself, or is an estimate no one has yet verified. What to check next: the point where the record runs out. That sorting is the product: the difference between saying a trend is rising and stating who says so, on what evidence, and what would settle it. Language models carry much of the research, the drafting and the German, French and Japanese editions; images and short-video versions are generated. Nothing is published until JL has reviewed it, and JL answers for what runs. Bylines are drawn from a fixed roster of attribution names so that an article carries the same name in all four languages; they do not identify individual writers. The English edition is the version of record. The Legal page carries the full account of tools and process.

It is not a wire service and does not break news. Nothing here is commissioned or paid for by the companies covered, but nothing here is an audit either. Where an article is linked to a product, that connection is disclosed on the article, and sponsored placements carry a label. Nothing published here is investment, legal or tax advice. If a figure is wrong, the correction matters more than the piece that carried it — write to hello@checkinadvance.com with the article, the claim, and the source that contradicts it.
