Audit and issues review

Mar 1, 2021

The draft articles and timeline were audited for spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misinformation, misidentification, out_of_context excerpts, quantitative precision, process clarity, context clarity, agency clarity, question emphasis, omission, bias, and duplication. No outstanding issues remain in the final revision.

The full story

An internal audit was performed on the draft timeline and article set against the specified checklist categories (spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misinformation, misidentification, out_of_context, quantitative precision, process clarity, context clarity, agency clarity, question emphasis, omission, bias, duplicate). All identified issues in the draft were corrected in the revision: proper names were normalized to the spellings given in the transcript (e.g., Lyons), votes and dollar amounts were taken verbatim from the minutes, and statements not supported by the minutes were removed or labeled "not specified." The minutes were used as the sole source for attributions; no outside identities or roles were inferred.
