Who does the talking

No one member stands apart on the Tulsa board: 3 of the 4 members we rank could rank first

Minutes speaking per full board meeting · 19 board meetings, Nov 3, 2025 – Sep 21, 2026 · talk time only, never tone or stance

A ranking, with its marginEach rank is a 90% range across 19 resampled meetings, so "2nd–4th" means the data can't place them more exactly. The ranges may widen as we name more of the speech.

Coverage: about 87% of members’ speaking time named (52%–88%)

Minutes = time we heard them speak per meeting, from the speech we have named so far, so each is a floor: at least that much.
