About
Receipts, not rhetoric.
Every week, someone with a big audience makes a claim about your money: prices are up this much, jobs are down that much, this policy will cost you, that one will save you. Most people don’t have time to check. We do.
TidyReport is a free weekly newsletter about money and the economy for regular people. Each issue takes the loudest political and viral claims about your wallet and checks them against real, public data—then tells you, in plain English, what it means for you.
How we work
- Same rules for everyone. We check claims from every side of the aisle.
- Primary sources. Government statistics and original documents first, with links in every issue.
- Show the math. If we compare numbers, we say how, so you can redo it yourself.
- Correct openly. Mistakes get fixed in the next issue and noted in the archive.
- AI-assisted, human-checked. We use AI tools for research and drafts; a person verifies every number before it’s sent.
