What we do
A checking desk for reporters who don't have one
Many independent journalists and small outlets in Indonesia cover complex, document-heavy stories without the backup of a formal fact-checking or legal desk. Valnexis fills that gap for stories that sit outside criminal reporting — permits, environmental data, institutional records, and public claims that deserve a second, careful read.
- Independent, document-based verification
- Editorial input, not legal representation
- Clear, working-day turnaround times

Our approach
Precision over pace
- We describe what documents say, not what they might imply.
- We flag where a specialist opinion is genuinely needed.
- We stay editorial — legal review is always a separate step.
If a draft needs a second, careful read, we're glad to talk it through.
