Lines where Randolph named the place, read by two AI readers that both agree it means that place. Each dot plays the newest one; brighter means named more often.

Oakland
  • West Oakland 6 times
  • Lake Merritt 1 time
  • Rockridge 1 time

Places are drawn at the centre of their own boundary in the city’s neighborhoods (CEDA) file (City of Oakland Open Data Portal); a well-known area with no boundary of its own sits at its OpenStreetMap point. A dot says the place was named, not where Randolph was or what was said about it.

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 Randolph was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Alex Randolph’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 Randolph 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 Randolph or of Oakland alone.
