Internal audit (applies to the draft articles)

This internal audit reviewed spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misidentification risk, out-of-context quotes, quantitative precision, process clarity, agency clarity, question emphasis, omission, bias and duplicate content. Revisions were made to ensure: (1) correct and consistent use of the jurisdiction name 'Blount County'; (2) numbers quoted match transcript figures; (3) contested votes are reported verbatim and with roll-call where recorded; (4) public comments remain unattributed beyond the transcript and are not presented as board endorsements; (5) ambiguous or garbled place names in the transcript are presented cautiously or omitted when necessary; (6) quotes are tied to speakers explicitly recorded in the transcript. No high-severity factual contradictions remain in the final articles.
