1) Speaker name inconsistencies (severity: medium) — Several names in the transcript are spelled inconsistently (examples: "Mimi May" vs "Mimi Nag"; variations in Commissioner McVoy/McBoyle/McEvoy). Fix: used the first clear roll‑call mapping where possible, and when ambiguity remained used functional labels ("Commissioner" or "Staff member") and flagged for staff confirmation.
2) Numeric ambiguities (severity: medium) — Project unit counts, some CIP totals and exact contract figures were discussed or implied but not consistently specified. Fix: where exact numbers were not reliably present the articles use "not specified" or conservative paraphrase and call out follow up (e.g., staff to provide packet numbers).
3) Chronology/placement (severity: low) — Confirmed that pre‑agenda items occurred before the budget workshop; timeline entries were created to preserve chronology. Fix: Timeline anchored to segment IDs and sequence verified.
4) Attribution lock (severity: low) — Ensured every direct quote or claim maps to a speaker in the speaker list; where a statement could not be attributed the language is written as unattributed summary.
5) Out_of_context risk (severity: low) — Avoided lifting quotes without surrounding explanation; included who said the quote and when possible the subject context.
6) Missing sources (severity: medium) — Several items (bond counsel input, final packets, staff memos) were referenced by commissioners as needed; the articles document these as follow up tasks and avoid asserting conclusions that depend on those documents.
All flagged issues were addressed in the final articles by either conservative phrasing, functional speaker labels, explicit follow‑up tasks for staff, or by noting "not specified" where the transcript lacked a precise figure.
