“I was wondering if you think there’s enough to add that as a future agenda item to really talk about how case management is provided and coordinated throughout a person who comes to start getting homeless services from the city.

How we identify who is speaking · blind check, pooled across five cities: of 410 council lines drawn, 352 right, 0 wrong, 1 unclear, 57 couldn’t be judged

We identified Preston’s voice at six meetings. A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Preston was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Bonnie Preston’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 Preston 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 Preston or of San Francisco alone.
