How this was checked
Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-11-01).
Captions at 5:34-5:36 read 'we've saved more than 40% fleetwide savings.' Whisper has 'fleet-wide'. The passage's 'forty percent' is the spoken form of '40%'.
