Audit of draft article vs. transcript and process rules
Summary
Checklist-style audit of the draft article against the Issues Rules: spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misinformation, misidentification, out_of_context, quantitative precision, process clarity, context clarity, agency clarity, question emphasis, omission, bias, duplicate.
spelling: []
clarity: [{"type":"clarification_needed","description":"The MDA term 'construction' used in the draft is ambiguous in the transcript; the article flagged it but should explicitly state it was not defined in the MDA text and remains unresolved.","severity":"medium"}]
chronology: []
framing: [{"type":"overreach_risk","description":"Developer valuation ($2.7 billion) is a developer-provided estimate; the article states it as an estimate but should attribute that estimate explicitly to the applicant and avoid implying independent verification.","severity":"medium"}]
misinformation: []
misidentification: [{"type":"potential_confusion","description":"Roll-call names (Commissioner Perrine, McGurk, Ashley, Vice Mayor Martin, Mayor Cleveland) appear in the transcript but mapping speaker numeric IDs to those names is ambiguous in the raw transcript. The article avoids numeric speaker mapping but uses the roll-call names; auditors should confirm the official attendee roster before publishing." ,"severity":"medium"}]
out_of_context: []
Quantitative precision: [{"type":"approximation_flag","description":"Several acreage and conservation totals (46,000 acres, 71 square miles) were cited by the applicant; these appear to be developer-reported figures and should be labeled as developer estimates in the article unless independently verified.","severity":"medium"}]
Process clarity: [{"type":"process_flag","description":"The article must be explicit that no formal vote or approval occurred at the workshop; the draft did so but audit confirms the language is present. Ensure upcoming steps are described factually (more workshops, staff follow-up).","severity":"low"}]
Context clarity: [{"type":"missing_detail","description":"The draft references the St. Johns River Water Management District; the transcript used 'St. John's Water Management District'—the audit requests correction to the official agency name in the article.","severity":"low"}]
Agency clarity: []
Question emphasis: [{"type":"omission","description":"Multiple public commenters asked for specific clarifications (impact-fee waivers, reversion terms for donated parcels). The article addresses these but should list them explicitly as unresolved contract items to guide follow-up.","severity":"medium"}]
omission: []
bias: []
duplicate: []
Attribution Lock: []
Recommended fixes applied in revision: explicitly label developer figures as developer estimates, note MDA ambiguities remain unresolved and were not defined in the workshop, correct agency name to 'St. Johns River Water Management District', avoid mapping numeric transcript speaker IDs to names except where the speaker self-identified or was introduced by name in the record, and state that no vote was taken.
