Curious how other people’s workflows look here.

When you’re drafting and you hit a claim you’re not 100% sure on a date, a stat, a name — do you stop and verify in the moment, or flag it and check everything at the end?

I’ve been talking to a few freelancers and the answers are all over the place. Some say tab-switching to Google mid-sentence destroys their flow. Others say batch-checking at the end means they sometimes have to rewrite paragraphs because a fact was off.

Also curious: have you ever published something with a wrong fact that slipped through? How did it happen?

(For context — I’m exploring an idea for a tool that would catch questionable factual claims live as you write and surface sources in a sidebar, so you don’t break flow but also don’t have to do a separate fact-check pass. Trying to figure out if this is a real pain or one I’m overthinking. Honest reactions welcome, including “this would annoy me.”)
