Audit: issues identified and how they were addressed
Summary
Editorial audit of draft articles found several issues (speaker identification ambiguity and missing numeric details); the final articles were revised to reflect conservative attributions and to mark unspecified items as "not specified" where appropriate.
Audit categories reviewed: spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misinformation, misidentification, out_of_context, quantitative precision, process clarity, context clarity, agency clarity, question emphasis, omission, bias and duplicate. The draft articles were checked against the transcript and revised when needed.
Key audit findings included: (1) several speakers in the transcript were not identified by full name (the articles use functional labels such as "Council member" or "Staff member, Dave" and explicitly cite the transcript segment where a speaker first appears); (2) some vote tallies and financial amounts were described approximately in the transcript (these are presented as approximate or "not specified" in places where the transcript lacks a precise figure). The final articles avoid invention of facts, use conservative attributions and supply verbatim quotes linked to transcript segments where available.
