Audit: compliance check against reporting standards
Summary
Post‑draft audit identified areas to verify: bill text for SB39, financial figures for Colville PID, and technical standard references; revised articles correct speaker attributions and avoid speculative claims.
A review of the draft articles against the 'Issues Rules' categories produced the following findings and fixes. Each item below lists the category, the issue found in the draft, and the corrective action applied to the revised articles.
Spelling: [] Clarity: [] Chronology: [] Framing: [] Misinformation:[{"type":"missing_bill_text","description":"Draft included claimed substantive changes in SB39 based on speaker's redline review without linking to the bill text.","severity":"high"}] Misidentification: [] Out_of_context: [] Quantitative precision:[{"type":"unverified_amount","description":"Colville bankruptcy amount ($500,000,000) cited by an attendee was presented without attribution or an explicit 'attendee said' tag.","severity":"high"}] Process clarity:[] Context clarity:[{"type":"technical_standard_naming","description":"Draft described 'server retrieval' risk in mobile driver's license standards; preserved as a speaker claim and attributed to Bramwell rather than stated as an uncontested fact.","severity":"medium"}] Question emphasis:[] Omission:[] Bias:[] Duplicate:[]
Corrections applied in revision: - All substantive or potentially contentious assertions (bill content, developer profits, Colville figures) are attributed to the meeting speakers and labeled as claims/concerns where appropriate. When the transcript included a named speaker's direct quote, the quote was used verbatim and attributed. When an audience member provided a figure, the text states it was raised by an attendee. - The SB39-related claim is presented as Jen Brown’s reading of redlines and her recommendation to contact committee members; the article does not assert legislative intent or confirm the bill text. - Technical claims (e.g., 'server retrieval' phone‑home behavior) are clearly attributed to Chris Bramwell and described as his concern, not independently verified.
Severity notes: high‑severity items involved potential factual claims about bill content and large dollar figures; these were reframed as attributed claims and flagged for follow‑up verification.
