    “I just want to— you mentioned it, but it was actually something Vice President Aramayo and I were commenting on, was the strong performance with the SBEs, LBEs, et cetera. And also the local workforce participation numbers. I mean, that’s obviously what we want to see.”

How we identify who is speaking · blind check, pooled across five cities: of 340 commission lines drawn, 260 right, 4 wrong, 1 unclear, 75 couldn’t be judged

We identified Johnson’s voice at seven meetings. A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Johnson was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Matthew M. Johnson’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 Johnson said. For commissions, of 340 lines drawn, 260 were right, 4 wrong and 1 unclear, and the checkers couldn’t judge 75. We have since removed the voices behind 64 of those lines (3 wrong, 0 unclear, the rest we had already held for other reasons). Of the 276 lines we still publish, the checkers could judge 228: 226 right, 1 wrong and 1 unclear (90% lower bound 0.97). They couldn’t judge the other 48. The check is one sample pooled across the five cities, not of Johnson or of Los Angeles alone.
