Homelessness“You had 294 folks that left the list because they did not need HSH housing, and I was wondering to what degree do we know if they got housing elsewhere, or is it just we lost communication?”Sharky LaguanaCommissioner · Homelessness Oversight Commission · Sep 3, 2026 · 1:26:33Play at 1:26:33

“…is this counting people as individuals? So for instance, a hypothetical dataset, you have 3 people in a family and 1 individual, you house the family, you would say 75% of all exits from homelessness to housing?”Sharky LaguanaCommissioner · Homelessness Oversight Commission · Apr 2, 2026 · 23:37Play at 23:37

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

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