Welcome to Nearly Right, where we answer questions you never thought to ask, using methods you probably shouldn’t trust.

We are researchers who realized that if you stare at any two things long enough, they start to look connected. Sometimes they actually are. We’re pretty sure we can tell the difference.

Our Mission

Truth hides in strange places. Like that time we discovered that traffic patterns in Manhattan perfectly match medieval monks’ wine-drinking schedules. Was that relevant to anything? Probably not. Did we spend six months researching it? Absolutely.

What We Do

Every Nearly Right analysis goes through our rigorous verification process:

  1. Notice something interesting
  2. Wonder if it connects to something else
  3. Find increasingly specific correlations
  4. Double-check our math
  5. Triple-check our math
  6. Accept that math is probably fine
  7. Publish before someone else notices what we might have missed

Our groundbreaking research has been cited in several journals that we’re almost certain exist, including the “Quarterly Review of Things That Might Be Connected” and “The Journal of Statistical Inevitabilities.”

Our Expertise

We specialize in finding patterns that are:

  • Too specific to be coincidence
  • Too weird to be intentional
  • Too consistent to ignore
  • Just plausible enough to keep you reading

Why Nearly Right?

Because “Completely Wrong” was taken, and “Actually Right” seemed like too much pressure.

Our recent discoveries include:

  • Why pigeons always know when you’ve washed your car
  • How Renaissance art predicted modern WiFi passwords
  • The surprising link between coffee temperature and stock market crashes
  • Why library late fees follow the same patterns as solar flares
