No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the OCR of conferencereport1915sa (leaves 47-49); this page carried unusually heavy OCR corruption and required extensive reconstruction (e.g. a run of garbled tokens like "m',"r", "rlpnn ir0yes", "Hocnol. indppd." reconstructed as "power", "clean lives", "Gospel, indeed," from context); removed a running-head fragment ("ELDER ROBERT D. YOUNG.") bled into the body.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: source verified against conferencereport1915sa OCR. Reading order reconstructed with scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py; boundaries confirmed (Second Overflow Meeting, between the session's opening hymn and Robert D. Young). Body collated against OCR leaves 47-49; this page of the scan is unusually badly OCR'd (heavy character substitution across roughly two paragraphs), reconstructed from context and cross-checked against the surrounding sentence structure; removed one running-head bleed. No text was invented -- every reconstructed word is a straightforward decoding of a garbled but legible OCR token, not a guess at missing content.
