One clip, newest first
“Since we’re talking about arbitrage funds, I have a question or two on those before we move on to other stuff to ask you about. For the, say, the $17 million rebate payment, can you not use that to repay debt instead of refund it back to the government? Is that not a legitimate use of arbitrage funds?”

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
A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Reddy was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Venkatesh Reddy’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 Reddy 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 Reddy or of San Francisco alone.
