spelling: [{"type":"spelling_inconsistency","description":"Transcript used multiple spellings for the same names (e.g., 'Barbbury' vs 'Barbber's'; 'Rothgar' vs 'Rothfgar'; 'Ziply' vs 'Zipley').","severity":"medium"}]
clarity: []
chronology: []
framing: []
misinformation: [{"type":"missing_date","description":"The transcript does not include a clear meeting date for the committee; stories must not invent a date.","severity":"medium"}]
misidentification: [{"type":"partial_names","description":"Some council members were referred only by first name in the transcript (e.g., 'Lisa', 'Isa'); the revision uses functional role labels (Council member Lisa/Isa) consistent with rules rather than inventing last names.","severity":"medium"}]
out_of_context: []
Quantitative precision: [{"type":"approximate_amounts","description":"Staff described bid and estimates as 'about' or 'just a hair under' โ articles preserve approximations and list exact amounts when stated; where sums were presented informally (chair called it 'a happy $3 million'), article uses the stated contract amounts and notes approximate totals.","severity":"low"}]
Process clarity: [{"type":"franchise_vs_final","description":"Committee action was a recommendation to full council, not final ordinance adoption; initial draft occasionally implied finality. Revised articles explicitly state committee action is a recommendation to council.","severity":"high"}]
Context clarity: []
Agency clarity: [{"type":"ownership_complexity","description":"Staff described NFC Northwest and Ziply as having nested ownership/contractual relationships; initial draft could have overstated roles. Revision preserves staff descriptions and flags complexity for verification.","severity":"medium"}]
Question emphasis: []
omission: [{"type":"contact_person_issue","description":"Transcript notes Ziply letter addressed to former employee Chad Scholhouser; initial draft mentioned but did not note staff follow-up. Revision clarifies staff has reached out to correct contact info.","severity":"low"}]
bias: []
duplicate: []
Fixes applied in revision: standardized name spellings to first full appearance in transcript (Barbbury, Carol Rothgar, Ziply), used role labels for single-name council members, clarified committee action as recommendation to full council, preserved approximate numeric phrasing where staff used it and avoided inventing dates or additional facts.
