A town clerk can ground a permit assistant on twelve years of dirty scanned packets — drafts, duplicates, and all — or on a smaller set of adopted ordinances and current forms. What should the leader choose?

Prefer the smaller clean set of adopted ordinances and current forms. Dirty volume — drafts, duplicates, and twelve years of scans — pollutes retrieval and does not raise answer quality. A larger ungrounded model does not paper over the mess.
