• Connects you to major public data sources like Census Bureau, BLS, FDA, and state portals
• Handles common data problems like inconsistent dates, outliers, and similar names

Grammar & Flow Check

• Identifies grammar errors like typos, punctuation mistakes, and tense inconsistencies
• Flags logical problems such as unsupported claims, contradictions, or vague statements
• Spots flow issues including choppy transitions, passive voice overuse, and unclear pronouns
