The instruction to say what is missing instead of filling the gap does the heavy lifting in that prompt. I have seen agents write a confident brief off one weak transcript, so I now log how many sources backed each claim and fail the run under a threshold. Do you check speaker labels programmatically before quoting?

Not as a separate automated check at the moment. The transcript includes speaker labels, and I ask Claude to flag uncertain attribution rather than guess. I’d still verify any quotation against the audio before publishing. I like your source-threshold idea—that would be a useful additional safeguard.
