Audit of draft article against Issues Rules

Spelling: Corrected transcript spelling of the city's name from 'Morehead' (as written in the transcript) to the official 'Moorhead' throughout the article. Severity: minor.

Clarity: Replaced informal phrasing from the transcript (e.g., 'a little over 20 minutes') with explicit phrasing in the article and preserved the original phrasing in quote form. Severity: minor.

Chronology: Confirmed the sequence of agenda actions (call to order, agenda approval, minutes approval, presentations, discussion, adjournment) matches the transcript. No issues found. Severity: none.

Framing: Ensured the article distinguishes discussion and staff exploration ("staff will explore" or "staff could explore") from formal decisions; did not present solicitations or grant-seeking as approvals. Severity: none.

Misinformation: No substantive technical claims or misstated facts beyond the name spelling corrected to Moorhead. Severity: minor.

Misidentification: The transcript contains unnamed speakers; the article uses the exact speaker labels present in the transcript and avoids inferring identities for unnamed commissioners. Severity: none.

Out-of-context: Quotes used are verbatim and presented with immediate attribution to the speaker in the transcript (Ethan); no out-of-context lifting detected. Severity: none.

Quantitative precision: When only estimates were provided in the transcript (e.g., 30–40 banner poles; "potentially anywhere from 30 to 40"), the article reports them as estimates and attributes them to staff. Severity: none.

Process clarity: The article specifies which items were discussion-only, which were staff directions to explore options, and which were formal actions (agenda/minutes/adjournment). Severity: none.

Context clarity: Added brief explanatory context for local agencies (e.g., Rourke Art Museum's role in launching the Sculpture Walk) based only on transcript claims; did not invent institutional responsibilities. Severity: none.

Question emphasis: The article includes commissioner questions about video length, banner pole counts, and funding leverage; no omissions detected. Severity: none.

Omission: The draft includes all motions and recorded outcomes from the meeting (agenda approval, minutes approval, adjournment). No substantive omissions found. Severity: none.

Bias: The article is neutral in tone and attributes opinions and suggestions to commissioners or staff. Severity: none.

Duplicate: No redundant or repeated content discovered. Severity: none.

Transcript segment errors: Timeline and provenance segments reference only existing SEG IDs. Minor issue: some highlight entries used compacted SEG references for readability but provenance and timeline use original SEG IDs. Severity: minor.
