# Counsel advice — Indigo channel-rebate inquiry

## Executive assessment

For Indigo Telecom Americas matter CB-IV-2609, the review identified 16 source-supported exceptions requiring action before 2026-09-30. The assessment concerns Prairie Link Solutions and the supplied record for Texas.

## Method and record coverage

The review inventoried all 96 production files, read the 33 controlling, corroborating, and control records, searched the email exports, and checked metadata for the designated chain-of-custody sample. Conclusions are limited to the synthetic production supplied for this benchmark matter.

## Findings

# Counsel advice — Jasper research-fund inquiry

## Executive assessment

For Jasper University Research Institute matter CB-IV-2610, the review identified 16 source-supported exceptions requiring action before 2026-10-04. The assessment concerns Nova Bench Analytics and the supplied record for Pennsylvania.

## Method and record coverage

The review inventoried all 96 production files, read the 33 controlling, corroborating, and control records, searched the email exports, and checked metadata for the designated chain-of-custody sample. Conclusions are limited to the synthetic production supplied for this benchmark matter.

## Findings

### F-01 — preservation delay (critical)

The records do not reconcile for preservation delay: one source states the operative date is 2026-02-12 under control reference CB-IV-2610-A145, while the corroborating source states the acknowledged date is 2026-03-05 under response reference CB-IV-2610-J103.

Do not claim the production has no issues or that every record is consistent.

Reconcile controlling and corroborating records

The CB-IV-2610 production contains independently maintained records; a defensible answer must preserve each supported conflict and its cure owner.

Timestamp recency does not establish legal priority, execution, or approval authority.

Report primary records without reconciliation

Primary records alone conceal the operational conflicts that create the actionable exceptions.
