Audit of draft articles and corrections applied

Aug 11, 2026

Post-draft audit identified a small omission: the minutes record motions as "voted on and carried" without roll-call tallies; articles were revised to state tallies were not specified. No spelling or misidentification issues found.

The full story

Audit summary: I reviewed the article drafts against the meeting minutes and the issues checklist (spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misinformation, misidentification, out_of_context, quantitative precision, process clarity, context clarity, agency clarity, question emphasis, omission, bias, duplicate). The minutes are concise and do not contain verbatim quotations; they summarize staff reports and committee actions. The draft articles were adjusted to (1) avoid invented quotes, (2) explicitly note where numeric details (repair costs, vendor OTDR delivery date, vote tallies) were not specified in the minutes, and (3) correctly attribute statements to named staff or committee members as recorded in the minutes.
