# Counsel advice — Island Biologics separation audit

## Executive assessment

For Island Biologics Corp. matter CB-EL-3109, the review identified 16 source-supported exceptions requiring action before 2026-10-03. The assessment concerns Former research director and the supplied record for Massachusetts.

## 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 — classification inconsistency (critical)

The records do not reconcile for classification inconsistency: one source states the operative date is 2025-03-21 under control reference CB-EL-3109-A177, while the corroborating source states the acknowledged date is 2025-05-06 under response reference CB-EL-3109-J798.

# Counsel advice — Junction Foods agency response check

## Executive assessment

For Junction Prepared Foods matter CB-EL-3110, the review identified 16 source-supported exceptions requiring action before 2026-10-07. The assessment concerns Packaging-line employee group and the supplied record for Iowa.

## 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 — classification inconsistency (critical)

The records do not reconcile for classification inconsistency: one source states the operative date is 2025-02-14 under control reference CB-EL-3110-A202, while the corroborating source states the acknowledged date is 2025-03-17 under response reference CB-EL-3110-J869.

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

Reconcile controlling and corroborating records

The CB-EL-3110 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.
