Audit of draft articles vs. transcript and policy checklist
Summary
Checklist review found a few issues to correct: potential misidentification of a speaker (avoid naming the sheriff), correct the county name displayed in the transcript, and confirm precise attributions and numeric claims.
spelling: [ {"type":"spelling","description":"The transcript shows 'Pors County' in opening remarks; the correct jurisdiction is Dolores County and was used in articles.","severity":"medium"} ]
clarity: [ ]
chronology: [ ]
framing: [ {"type":"framing","description":"Early draft risked attributing remarks to 'Sheriff Wilson' though the transcript does not show the speaker self‑identifying by name; revised articles attribute quotes to 'a county official' or to named individuals only when the transcript gives a name and role.","severity":"high"} ]
misinformation: [ {"type":"misinformation","description":"Some operational claims (e.g., who registered call signs) were disputed in the meeting; article notes these as contested and uses 'said' or 'reported' rather than asserting as fact.","severity":"medium"} ]
misidentification: [ {"type":"misidentification","description":"Transcript refers to people by name (e.g., Joyce Barnett, Damian Smith) but does not record those individuals speaking in the provided segments; articles present those names only as referenced in the transcript, and direct quotes are attributed to speakers recorded in the transcript (labeled 'County official' when unnamed).","severity":"high"} ]
out_of_context: [ ]
Quantitative precision: [ {"type":"quantitative_precision","description":"Dollar and staffing numbers were referenced approximately in the meeting ($11,000 Cortez dispatch cost; ~3 FTE dispatchers); articles mark these as approximate and cite the meeting as the source.","severity":"medium"} ]
Process clarity: [ ]
Context clarity: [ ]
Agency clarity: [ {"type":"agency_clarity","description":"Articles now clarify that the ambulance board requested an RFP and that the county speaker proposed writing to the ambulance board (not to the chief), following the meeting transcript's distinction.","severity":"low"} ]
Question emphasis: [ ]
omission: [ {"type":"omission","description":"Initial draft omitted explicit note that the board did not hear direct responses from the ambulance board in the supplied transcript; revised articles note that the ambulance board viewpoint is not recorded in the provided segments.","severity":"high"} ]
bias: [ ]
duplicate: [ ]
Attribution lock: [ {"type":"attribution_lock","description":"All direct quotes in articles map to a speaker in the supplied speaker list or are unattributed when the speaker in the transcript cannot be matched to a name; no new speaker names were invented.","severity":"high"} ]
