Audit categories (spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misinformation, misidentification, out_of_context, quantitative_precision, process_clarity, context_clarity, agency_clarity, question_emphasis, omission, bias, duplicate) were checked against the draft. Identified issues were corrected in the final articles as described below.
Spelling/Names: The transcript alternated between “Tu Mai” and “Thumai” and had inconsistent spellings of commissioner surnames (Laueck/Lueck). Correction: standardized applicant name to "Tu Mai" (as first self‑identified at SEG 286) and used commissioner's spellings as they appeared in the roll and motion (Commissioner Kona, Commissioner Laueck) while noting Clerk roll entries literally where relevant.
Clarity/Framing: The draft risked conflating the commission’s advisory consistency finding with final development approvals. Revision: explicitly separated the planning commission’s advisory role from Plant City site development, rezoning and permitting actions; added sentences directing readers to where stormwater and engineering issues will be addressed.
Out‑of‑context/Misinformation: The transcript included a likely transcription error ("concentrated funding" vs. "concentrated flooding"). Correction: corrected the phrase in narrative context and quoted shorter verbatim phrases from speakers to avoid repeating the likely typo. All quoted material is anchored to the speakers listed in the speaker section.
Quantitative Precision: Where the transcript lacked precise counts (e.g., exact number of homes expected by developer), the article uses staff‑reported permitted unit counts (current ~23 units, proposed up to 94 units, net increase of 71) and attributes them to staff rather than presenting them as indisputable facts.
Omissions: The draft omitted petition identifiers and concurrent applications referenced by the applicant. Revision: added ANX2025‑06 and PB‑2025‑33 to clarifying details and the actions/dependencies arrays.
Misidentification: No instances were found of assigning statements to speakers not present in the transcript; all quotes and attributions were limited to the speaker list.
Duplicate: Removed redundant phrasing and consolidated public comment summaries into single paragraphs per speaker.
Severity summary (selected):
- spelling: [{"type":"name_variation","description":"Applicant name appears as 'Tu Mai' and 'Thumai' in transcript","severity":"low"}]
- quantitative_precision: [{"type":"transcript_ambiguity","description":"Transcript contained 'concentrated funding' likely meaning 'concentrated flooding'; corrected to 'flooding' in context and limited direct quote to verbatim safe fragment.","severity":"medium"}]
All issues above were addressed in the revised article texts. No additional content was invented; where transcript lacked detail the article states "not specified" or attributes the point to the speaker or staff record.
