Do you have any sense from sort of being deep in the weeds on this whether we are beginning to meet some of the audit recommendations already?Zac Unger · Councilmember25:14

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 98 of 100 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
