Audit of draft and revisions
Summary
Audit identified inconsistent candidate naming in the transcript, potential misidentification risks, and unclear mover attribution; article revised to flag the discrepancy and rely on the board's posted contract as authoritative.
Audit findings (by category):
spelling: [{"type":"name_inconsistency","description":"The transcript contains multiple inconsistent renderings of the superintendent candidate's name (Dr. Lee Eames; Dr. Reed Amons; Dr. Aymond/Aymonds/Amonds), and several misspellings across segments.","severity":"high"}]
clarity: []
chronology: []
framing: []
misinformation: []
misidentification: [{"type":"ambiguous_candidate_name","description":"The article initially presented a single candidate name without resolving the inconsistent names read aloud during the meeting; this risks misidentifying the incoming superintendent.","severity":"high"}]
out_of_context: []
Quantitative precision: []
Process clarity: [{"type":"mover_identity_unclear","description":"The transcript records a motion and seconds but does not clearly attribute which board member originally moved the contract approval versus the president entering the motion; the article notes the motion and records second(s) where spoken but flags the ambiguity.","severity":"medium"}]

Fixes applied in revision: - The article now explicitly reports the discrepancy between the name read by the president ('Dr. Lee Eames') and the name spoken during the motion ('Dr. Reed Amons'), and directs readers to the district's posted contract as the authoritative source. - The article avoids asserting a single definitive candidate name where the transcript is inconsistent and instead uses neutral phrasing ('the superintendent') after noting the discrepancy. - The article records vote counts and contract dollar totals exactly as read into the record and identifies the referenced statute for cancellation terms.
Severity notes: High severity items (candidate name inconsistency, misidentification risk) were addressed by calling attention to the discrepancy and advising verification against the posted contract. Medium severity items (mover identity) were handled by reporting the motion and seconds as spoken and flagging the ambiguity for readers.
