    “I’m trying to figure out what’s the concept of the style of the building. Is it postmodern? Is it eclectic? And what’s the difference between the two in terms of this committee?”

  • Everardo Jefferson · Member · Landmarks Preservation Commission · Jun 23, 2026 · 38:41

    “Since the center moved to St. Paul’s and St. Andrew’s, have they kept up their payments? Have they been viable?”

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

A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Jefferson was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Everardo Jefferson’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 Jefferson 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 Jefferson or of New York alone.
