Audit results for article on outside counsel motion
Audit summary: The draft article accurately captured the motion to have legislative counsel seek outside counsel and recorded the committee's subsequent approval of minutes and adjournment. The audit identified issues primarily around unclear name spellings in the transcript and missing substantive details about the petition and counsel scope; those issues were addressed in the final revision by qualifying uncertain name spellings and noting missing details.

Key audit findings and fixes applied:

- Spelling / Misidentification: Several names in the roll call are transcribed with uncertain spellings (e.g., "Bosch?", "Freilich?", "Istuh?"). The article now reports votes using the names exactly as transcribed and explicitly notes that some spellings in the transcript are unclear.

- Omission / Context clarity: The transcript does not specify the petition’s subject, the budget for outside counsel, or a timeline. The article explicitly states those details were not specified.

- Quantitative precision: Because a name’s spelling is unclear and one name appears to be transcribed twice ("Hager"), the article avoids asserting an absolute numeric roster beyond the documented roll-call entries and reports the recorded dissent and the list of names as transcribed.

Severity: Issues were medium in severity for attribution and clarity; they were resolved by adding explicit qualifiers and by preserving verbatim transcript phrasing where names were uncertain.
