out_of_context: []

Quantitative precision: [ {"type":"missing_precision","description":"Several participant counts and funding figures were presented orally (e.g., DOH clinician staffing, OGVP event totals, ARC served counts). In article text these are reported as testimony numbers but should be labeled 'as testified' or 'as of testimony' and flagged 'approximate' until agency provides written confirmation.","severity":"medium"} ]

Process clarity: [ {"type":"missing_process_detail","description":"Perkins funding flow and Act 84‑34 allocation were discussed; the draft did not clearly state that Perkins formula grants are administered to districts and that local legislative appropriations or transfers may be required to access other local balances. Requires clarification to avoid implying automatic availability of funds.","severity":"high"} ]

Context clarity: [ {"type":"insufficient_context","description":"The DOH testimony cites national statistics (CDC, ACEs) and local Youth Risk Behavior Survey figures; the draft should explicitly say which figures are national vs. local and cite the 2017 YRBS numbers as the local survey years referenced in testimony.","severity":"medium"} ]

Agency clarity: [ {"type":"role_precision","description":"The Office of Gun Violence Prevention repeatedly emphasized it does not perform law‑enforcement functions. The article must preserve that distinction when describing OGVP activities to avoid implying arrest authority.","severity":"high"} ]

Question emphasis: [ {"type":"omitted_substantive_questions","description":"Committee questions on Vivis data system status, DOH staffing breakdown, and Act 84‑34 fund availability were central; drafts summarize commitments but should list those specific follow‑ups and who will deliver them and expected timing.","severity":"medium"} ]

omission: [ {"type":"missing_follow_up_commitments","description":"Several agencies promised follow‑up documents (DOH staffing breakdown, CTE budgets, nonprofit program cost data). The article should explicitly list each promised deliverable and which office will provide it.","severity":"high"} ]

Fixes applied in revision: Articles were updated to (1) flag numeric testimony as approximate and attribute to speakers; (2) clarify Perkins/Act 84‑34 procedural limits and specify that Perkins funds are formula‑allocated to districts; (3) separate national vs. local survey citations; (4) preserve OGVP non‑law‑enforcement description; (5) list promised follow‑up deliverables and responsible offices. Severity items marked 'high' were addressed in the revised articles.
