What we do
Zevrion sits behind the byline. We search older printed and digitised material, turn scattered dates into a sequence a reporter can defend, and help write the short note that says plainly what a piece did and did not establish. None of it appears under our name; all of it should hold up under someone else's scrutiny.
- › Written record of where each item was found
- › Timelines that separate document from recollection
- › Methods notes readers can actually trust
- › Work scoped in hours and sessions, not open retainers

Why we work this way
- › Every finding gets a page reference, not just a summary
- › Uncertain dates stay marked as uncertain
- › Scope is agreed in hours before work starts
- › Our name never appears in your published piece
