Public records are public for a reason.
Sourced Truth exists because public records are public for a reason, and that reason matters most when no one is looking.
Government agencies produce enormous amounts of documentation. Billing files. Enrollment records. Inspection reports. Court filings. Corporate registrations. These documents are available by statute to anyone who asks for them. Most people never ask. The information they contain, about fraud, failure, and the distance between official statements and documented reality, stays buried inside databases no one bothers to access.
We bother.
We follow the record where it goes. We write what it shows. We don't make it comfortable when it isn't.
Our mission is to produce investigative research that is rigorous, sourced, and honest. We make that research available both as published journalism and as a professional service for those who need it.
The uncomfortable stories are the important ones.
We cover the stories that are uncomfortable to tell. Medicaid billing fraud, where public money disappears inside systems designed to be complicated. The business of addiction, where crisis becomes a revenue model and the people in treatment are rarely the primary customer. Immigration policy and its human and economic costs, examined through data rather than rhetoric. The quiet ways that public institutions fail the people they're meant to serve.
These are not easy subjects. They involve systems most people don't want to think about, industries with significant resources to manage their public image, and institutions with every incentive to stay opaque. We pursue them anyway. The discomfort that surrounds these topics is usually a signal that something important is being avoided.
We are not ideologically neutral. We hold a conservative worldview, and we believe government accountability is not a partisan value. It is a foundational one. Taxpayer money deserves honest oversight. Individuals deserve honest information. The institutions with the most power to shape lives should be held to the highest standard of transparency. That belief does not change based on which party built the program or who benefits from the narrative staying comfortable.
Accountability has no political exemptions. We apply the same standard regardless of who is implicated.
Primary sources. Every time.
We do this work through primary sources: FOIA, GRAMA, CMS billing data, NPI Registry, court records, corporate filings. We do not accept the press release as the story. We do not treat official silence as exoneration. We ask for the records. We read the records. We tell you what the records say.
When we publish, every claim is sourced. Every number comes from a file we can point to. Every conclusion is drawn from documentation, not assumption. If we can't show you where it came from, we don't publish it.
For hire clients get the same standard. We deliver documented findings. Not speculation, not impressions, not what seems likely. What the record shows. What it doesn't. And what questions remain open.
We are new. The mission is not.
