Practice

Record the number before you repeat it

Amount, source, and date go on the card before the sentence you would say out loud.

The Hill Business published this account (2026-09-09): Oil prices climbed above $100 a barrel for the first time since July as renewed Middle East fighting raised supply disruption concerns. Brent crude jumped nearly 3% to $100.72.

This guide uses that public page as the example. This site did not run the test, close the deal, or measure the product.

Write only what the page says

The page's claim is: Oil prices climbed above $100 a barrel for the first time since July as renewed Middle East fighting raised supply disruption concerns. Brent crude jumped nearly 3% to $100.72.

Put the URL under that sentence. If a later recap adds a number or a date, keep the original page as the record.

Amount, source, and date go on the card before the sentence you would say out loud.

Do the site's check on this one page. Fill a line only when the page supports it. Where the page is silent, write Not stated.

A finished note names the page, the date, and the limit of the claim. It does not borrow a result from a different story.

Stop at the untested line

Anything you did not open, install, or count stays untested. Leave that line visible.

Source page: Oil rises past $100 a barrel after latest Middle East attacks.
