From the clerk’s own record. We don’t compare members on it.

Absent at opening roll call 10 · voted later in 1 of those. Oct 24, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026. The clerk’s record covers 72 of the 101 meetings we hold, through Sep 30, 2026.

• City Council: talk time not compared. Presides over its meetings, so isn’t compared with the members.

We identified Harris-Dawson’s voice at 74 meetings across two bodies. A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Harris-Dawson was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Marqueece Harris-Dawson’s name only when both agree and a code check finds the name said on, or just before, their turn. Voices our transcripts merge with someone else’s are never attributed, so every count here undercounts what Harris-Dawson said. For councils and their committees, of 410 lines drawn, 352 were right, 0 wrong and 1 unclear, and the checkers couldn’t judge 57. We have since removed the voices behind 110 of those lines (0 wrong, 1 unclear, the rest we had already held for other reasons). Of the 300 lines we still publish, the checkers could judge 268: all 268 right (90% lower bound 0.99). They couldn’t judge the other 32. The check is one sample pooled across the five cities, not of Harris-Dawson or of Los Angeles alone.
