We identified Nurse’s voice at 28 meetings across nine bodies. A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Nurse was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Sandy Nurse’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 Nurse 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 Nurse or of New York alone.
