How this works
- Read the records. Code reads each item's official page and staff report: the steps, dates, results and votes. No AI is used for these facts.
- Draft. An AI model drafts short plain-language sentences. Each one must quote the exact words it comes from and say which step it is from.
- Check. Code rejects any sentence whose quote is not in the source, and flags dates, deadlines, decision words used for recommendations, and loaded words. A second AI pass checks each sentence against its source.
- Review. A person approves, edits or rejects every sentence. Only approved sentences are shown.
- Watch for changes. If the official record changes, the card is marked until it is checked again.
What we never do
- Guess a comment deadline. We show one only if the City's page states it.
- Summarize or name members of the public who wrote in. We only count submissions.
- Store your postal code or send anything about you to an AI service.
