Audit of draft articles — issues identified and fixes applied
Summary
Audit of the draft articles identified several transcription-derived clarity and identification issues (speaker name spellings, garbled numeric phrases, unclear policy numbers). Each was corrected or clarified in the final revision where possible; outstanding items noted for verification against official meeting minutes and documents.
I reviewed the draft articles against the meeting transcript and the Issues Rules. The primary problems stemmed from transcription noise in the source transcript (garbled names, inconsistent policy numbers, unclear numeric phrasing). Where the transcript unambiguously named individuals, those names were used and attributed as "Board member" when no formal title appeared. Where the transcript was inconsistent or unclear, the article either used a generic role label (e.g., "Staff member") or noted that the transcript did not specify a figure and therefore did not assert a precise dollar amount. Specific issues found and how they were fixed are listed below.
