Summary
Checklist of issues found in the draft articles and timeline, with suggested severity and fixes.
I reviewed the draft timeline and articles against spelling, attribution, chronology, framing, and process requirements. Below are identified issues and recommended fixes; the article text has been revised to address these points.
Spelling and name-variants: Several names and vendor spellings vary across the transcript (examples: Moravich/Maravich, Denney/Denning, McCrae/McCray, McNees/McNeese). I standardized names to the variants used most consistently in the transcript and flagged the inconsistencies for verification.
Speaker identification: The transcript contains places where speakers are addressed by name and places with inconsistent labeling. I mapped speaker numeric labels to names only where the transcript explicitly introduced or addressed them, and used role-based labels where no clear name appears.
Acronyms and agency clarity: Acronyms such as BCIU and BCTC were left as presented; readers may need their full names for context. I maintained transcript language but flagged this for potential clarification.
Quantitative precision: The finance committee’s projected $4,200,000 deficit was reported as the committee stated it; I noted it as a projection rather than an exact shortfall and preserved the phrasing.
Transcript inconsistencies: The draft highlighted variant spellings for some board member names and vendor names in the record. Those variants are flagged and should be confirmed with the board clerk prior to publication.
Severity levels and locations below were used to guide revision.
