- Use these notes as Natick-specific examples of past article handling, source organization, procedural motion patterns, and amendment/referral history.
- Treat each signal as a research lead until reviewed against the underlying source file and any official final action.
- Do not generalize Natick practices to another town unless that town supplies its own historical evidence and local rules.
- When adapting the toolkit for another town, prompt the moderator to provide a comparable read-only body of past warrants, motions, presentations, minutes, debate materials, and action reports.
- Google Docs/Sheets/Slides shortcut files may require authenticated export before their full contents can be summarized.
- Some PDFs may not have extractable text and may require OCR or manual review.
- This pass infers article links from file names and text mentions; reviewer confirmation is required before treating the article map as complete.
