Internal audit of draft coverage (methodology and issues)

This audit lists issues found in the first draft and confirms they were addressed in the revised articles. Each category either lists identified issues or is empty if none were found.

spelling: [ {"type":"transcript_inconsistency","description":"Name variants found in transcript (e.g., 'Payne' vs 'Paine'; 'Haber' vs 'Haberow'; 'Air Academy' vs 'AIR Academy'). Revised articles standardize to 'Vice President Payne,' 'Superintendent Haberow,' and 'Air Academy' consistent with spoken references and internal normalization.","severity":"medium"}, {"type":"numeric_typo","description":"Transcript reads '412%' in places where context and board policy indicate '4–12%'. Corrected to '4–12%' in article text and flagged uncertainty in clarifying_details.","severity":"high"} ]

clarity: [],

chronology: [],

framing: [ {"type":"overstatement_risk","description":"Initial draft risked overstating the extent to which DAC recommendations were withheld from the board. Revised text preserves Director Tripp's concern and administration's response without asserting a finding.","severity":"medium"} ],

misinformation: [ {"type":"numeric_garbled","description":"Enrollment and some numeric strings in transcript were garbled (e.g., '26006 0 3' and '26004 71'). Articles present enrollment as 'about 26,000' and quote the speaker's characterization of a 'roughly 0.5% decline' to avoid repeating garbled raw numbers.","severity":"medium"} ],

misidentification: [ {"type":"role_attribution_risk","description":"Speaker IDs in transcript (S#) did not always align clearly with printed names; the article only attributes direct quotes to speakers explicitly named in the transcript (Becky Allen, Dr. Susan Field, Jolynn Patterson, the named public commenters and the superintendent).","severity":"medium"} ],

out_of_context: [],

Quantitative precision: [ {"type":"approximation","description":"Several dollar amounts and percentages were presented as approximations by presenters. Articles mark approximations (e.g., 'about $4.9 million') and include clarifying_details citing the speaker." ,"severity":"medium"} ],

Process clarity: [],

Context clarity: [],

Agency clarity: [],

Question emphasis: [],

omission: [ {"type":"missing_follow_up","description":"Initial draft did not explicitly note that the two interim principal appointments were on the consent agenda; revised article states that the appointments were included in and approved via the consent agenda vote.","severity":"medium"} ],

bias: [],

duplicate: []

Attribution Lock: The revised articles ensure that all direct quotes are attributed only to speakers present in the transcript and included in the articles' speaker lists. If a detail was unclearly stated in the transcript (garbled numbers or inconsistent name spellings), the article flags it, presents the best-faith correction (e.g., '4–12%') and notes the basis for correction.
