Spokane City Council · March 23, 2026

Summary

Assistant reviewed drafts against the checklist and flagged a limited set of issues (primarily attribution clarity given transcript label/name mapping). Articles were revised to avoid inventing identities and to attribute only where the transcript explicitly names speakers or introduces them.

spelling: [] clarity: [] chronology: [] framing: [] misinformation: [] misidentification: [{"type":"mapping_ambiguity","description":"Transcript uses speaker labels (S1, S2, etc.) and lists council members by name in roll call; exact mapping from voice label to councilmember name is not always explicit. Where the transcript explicitly introduced or addressed a named person (for example, Patricia Kleinholtz, David Ratzen, Rob Schultz, Luis Garcia) those names are used. For speakers whose numeric label could not be unambiguously mapped to a name in the transcript, articles avoid attributing substantive quotes to a name and instead use role labels (e.g., 'Council president', 'a council member').","severity":"medium"}] out_of_context: [] Quantitative precision: [{"type":"clarify_number","description":"Appraisal and per-square-foot figures are reported as given by staff ('about $460,000' and 'about $1.96 per square foot'); article language preserves the approximation instead of asserting exactness.","severity":"low"}] Process clarity: [] Context clarity: [] Agency clarity: [] Question emphasis: [] omission: [] bias: [] duplicate: [] Attribution Lock: [{"type":"attribution_policy","description":"All direct quotes and attributions in the articles are limited to speakers explicitly identified in the transcript (David Ratzen, Patricia Kleinholtz, Rob Schultz, Luis Garcia). Motions and votes are reported as council actions without attributing individual yes/no votes to specific named members unless the transcript explicitly recorded them.","severity":"low"}]
