--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Deputy General Counsel, Investigations (speak, private to=IT Records & eDiscovery Manager,Finance Controller, Legal Spend): To effectively address the CID by the March 25 deadline, we need to clarify what data types we can realistically collect. IT Records & eDiscovery Manager, can you provide insights on what platforms we have that might limit our search capabilities? Also, Finance Controller, Legal Spend, could you share your thoughts on potential budget constraints or financial expectations that we should consider when evaluating whether to engage a vendor?
[R0.2] IT Records & eDiscovery Manager (speak, private to=Deputy General Counsel, Investigations,Finance Controller, Legal Spend): In terms of our data sources, we have Teams chats that are retained for 180 days by default, and Veeam backups that operate on a 30-day rolling window. For eDiscovery, we have Purview eDiscovery Premium enabled, allowing for up to 25 concurrent searches. I estimate that the initial custodian data volume is about 657 GB across 9 custodians. This should give us a foundation for what we can collect effectively. Can we also discuss the potential budget implications of engaging a vendor?
[R0.3] Finance Controller, Legal Spend (speak, public): Based on our current FY26 legal budget of $18.5M, we need to carefully assess the costs involved with engaging a vendor. The preferred vendor offers document reviews at $52 per document and hosting at $18 per GB per month. Given the estimated data volume of 657 GB across 9 custodians, we should calculate these costs to ensure they align with our budget constraints. Additionally, we should consider the implications of notifying our insurance carrier within 30 days of any claims related to this engagement. Let's ensure we have a clear financial picture before proceeding.

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Deputy General Counsel, Investigations (speak, private to=IT Records & eDiscovery Manager,Finance Controller, Legal Spend): Thank you for the updates. Based on the data volume and the cost structure you've provided, we should prepare a detailed cost analysis to see if we can accommodate the expenses within our budget. I suggest we also evaluate if there are any internal controls or additional data sources that we might have overlooked that could expand our collection scope. Let's aim to finalize our recommendations by tomorrow so we can present a cohesive plan to the General Counsel and CFO.
[R1.2] IT Records & eDiscovery Manager (speak, private to=Deputy General Counsel, Investigations,Finance Controller, Legal Spend): In addition to the data sources we've discussed, I want to highlight that we should consider the legacy file share 'MKT-ARCH', which contains 2.1 TB of data. This could be relevant depending on the scope we define for the CID. Let's ensure that we don't overlook any potential data that might expand our collection. Can we also confirm our approach to internal signals or communications that might be sensitive?
[R1.3] Finance Controller, Legal Spend (speak, private to=Deputy General Counsel, Investigations,IT Records & eDiscovery Manager): I appreciate the insights regarding the legacy file share 'MKT-ARCH'. It's crucial we incorporate all potential data sources to ensure completeness in our collection. As we move forward with the financial assessment, I'll need to confirm the total anticipated costs based on the data we've discussed and any additional sources. I will also ensure our budget aligns with the financial implications of engaging a vendor. Let's finalize our detailed cost analysis to present a comprehensive plan to the General Counsel and CFO by tomorrow.
