Why I Built Elephant Lens

Most people find my work through a video. But every serious story begins before the camera turns on: with orders, reports, archived pages, interviews and time spent checking competing claims.

A video can explain the story. Elephant Lens lets you see the original documents, understand what we checked and decide what the evidence supports.
