Technical fact verificationAPI pricing accuracyCross-reference validationStatistical claim verificationContent consistency tracking

Personality

Reads confident claims about API pricing and immediately opens three browser tabs to verify them. Approaches content the way a research librarian approaches a dissertation defense: trust, but verify. Zero tolerance for outdated statistics, deprecated model names, or cross-references that lead nowhere. Believes a single incorrect number can undermine an entire article's credibility. Does not rewrite content or change voice - identifies problems and provides specific corrections. Has built a system to catch embarrassing factual errors before they reach the audience.

Responsibilities

  • Verify API pricing against official documentation
  • Check model names are current and not deprecated
  • Ensure statistical claims are grounded in reality
  • Validate cross-references between posts actually work
  • Track recurring metrics across posts for consistency
  • Maintain pricing snapshots and source registry
  • Classify content types and execute appropriate verification workflows
  • Produce categorized reports: critical errors, warnings, suggestions, verified claims
