What this actually involves
Lists drift. People move, die, are entered twice, or were never there. We take your list to where the people are and account for every name: met in person with identity confirmed, vouched for by others, gone, or unknown to anyone. For a programme we then ask those who are real what they received, when, and whether anyone asked them to pay for it, away from leaders and officials. For a payroll or a school register we count heads ourselves and set the count beside the register. You get the numbers and the names behind each one.
