Verify a source
Run the handle or email behind a tip and see the public accounts and history connected to it.
For journalists
Check a name before it enters the story.
Verify the public footprint behind an account or a claim, find the profiles and contact points tied to an identifier, and keep the source and your question together for editorial review.

What you can do
Follow the thread
A contact email on one profile can lead to a name or another account. Pivot across public sources.
Keep it for review
Export the sources with your draft so an editor checks the attribution against the record.
Hold the line
A public profile gives you a name to check, not a published fact. Elyv keeps the two separate.
A typical workflow
Four steps from a single clue to something you can hand off.
- Start with the clue
Paste the username, email or site from the tip or the screenshot you are checking.
- Read the public record
Public profiles, contact points and linked accounts come back, each with its source link.
- Confirm before you write
Treat a match as a lead. Check who really controls the account before attributing anything.
- Save for the desk
Keep the result and your attribution question together, and export for editorial review.

Questions
Elyv surfaces public information to check, not to publish. Confirm control and context before any name enters a story.
Start from one clue.
Search a username, an email, a phone or a domain and see what public sources hold.
