Blue Tab 000 — G21 Base Damages — Executive Overview¶

GUARDRAIL: BLUE — G21 BASE DAMAGES

G21 flood-related base damages only. No enterprise multipliers, no Freeman Street.

1) What this section is¶

Blue (Vol 05) documents receipt-based direct damages caused by the G21 landlord flood. These are base damages proven with documents (receipts, invoices, estimates, bank statements, EOBs). All totals are calculated using 9% simple interest per CPLR 5001–5004.

Strict separation: Blue contains no Freeman Street (opportunity-loss) content. Red (Vol 06) covers opportunity-loss damages separately.

2) Blue Operating Rules (Control Contract)¶

Tab 002 is the only place where: - Category totals roll up into economic principal - P&S valuation bands are declared (methodology, not evidence) - Interest is computed or deferred - Tiered architecture (Tier 1 / Tier 2) is applied

No other Blue tab may introduce: - Totals or subtotals (beyond evidence inventories) - Scenario ranges or valuation bands - Alternative interest anchors or calculation methods

Incompleteness is managed exposure: Categories with pending evidence (101.8 Storage, 109 Health/Medical) are tracked as TBD rows in Tab 002 with explicit status flags, not gaps.

3) How to use this section (5-step counsel flow)¶

Read Tab 001 — Framework. Confirm category definitions and evidence standards.
Open the category page you're populating (Tabs 101–109). Build/verify the evidence inventory only (no math on category pages).
Record date anchors needed for interest (see Section 5 below).
Go to Tab 002 — Mathematical Verification. Enter category subtotals and date anchors; Tab 002 applies 9% simple and produces single-source totals.
Export the Tab 002 tables with sources for disclosure.

4) G21 Base Damages Composition (Consensus Reference)¶

Canonical Source: Tab 002 Section 5.1 (Mathematical Verification)

Blue Section documents nine categories of receipt-based damages. The tiered architecture below summarizes the consensus-locked composition:

Tier 1 — Documented Floor (Pre-Interest)¶

Tab	Category	Principal
101	Property Damage & Restoration	$735,793
103	Alternative Housing Costs	$697,200
106	Forced Liquidation	$22,789
107	Transportation Impairment	$650
	Tier 1 Subtotal	$1,456,433

Tier 2 — Working Additions (Pre-Interest)¶

Tab	Category	Principal
102	Business Income Losses	$383,141
104	Administrative & Legal Burden	$565,057
105	Credit Impairment	$40,300
	Tier 2 Subtotal	$988,499

Economic Totals¶

Measure	Amount
Economic Principal (Tier 1 + Tier 2)	$2,444,931
Interest (~28% blended)	~$684,581
Economic with Interest	~$3,129,512

Pain & Suffering (Non-Economic)¶

Tab 108 documents non-economic harm evidence. Calculation methodology (per-diem model) is in Tab 002 Section 5.1.4. Scenario selection is counsel-gated:

Scenario	Basis	Amount
Conservative	$500/day × 2,278 days	$1,139,000
Moderate	$1,000/day × 2,278 days	$2,278,000
Enhanced	Counsel-gated	$3,500,000

These figures are valuation scaffolding, not demands. Final selection is attorney decision.

Routing: All calculations performed in Tab 002. Category tabs (101–109) remain evidence-only.

5) Organization at a glance¶

Part A — Framework & Verification¶

Tab 000 (this page): Executive overview & navigation
Tab 001: G21 Base Damages Framework (definitions, evidence standards)
Tab 002: Mathematical Verification (REPL Appendix) — sums all categories + 9% interest

Part B — Category Evidence (evidence-only; no local calculations)¶

Tab 101: Property Damage & Restoration (Tier 1: $735,793)
Tab 102: Business Income Losses (Tier 2: $383,141)
Tab 103: Alternative Housing Costs (Tier 1: $697,200)
Tab 104: Administrative & Legal Burden (Tier 2: $565,057)
Tab 105: Credit Impairment & Financial Stress (Tier 2: $40,300)
Tab 106: Forced Liquidation — Instruments & Gear (Tier 1: $22,789)
Tab 107: Transportation Impairment (Tier 1: $650)
Tab 108: Pain & Suffering (non-economic; evidence-only)
Tab 109: Health & Medical Impacts (TBD — pending evidence intake)

Routing rule: All math lives in Tab 002. Category pages hold evidence inventories and date anchors only.

6) Interest & date-anchor guidance (CPLR 5001–5004 — 9% simple)¶

General rule: Use the earliest ascertainable date of each loss/expense. If unclear, adopt a conservative convention and state it explicitly in the category page.

Property Damage (Tab 101): Anchor: Invoice/receipt date or date of loss (if contemporaneously documented). If multiple items, itemize or use earliest item date with notes.
Business Income (Tab 102): Anchor: Last day of each month of lost income (EOM convention) unless a specific denied/terminated booking date is documented. Tie to tax return schedules and bank statements.
Alternative Housing (Tab 103): Anchor: Each paid rent/housing invoice date (or EOM convention for monthly receipts).
Administrative & Legal (Tab 104): Anchor: Date each billed expense was incurred/paid; for labor time entries, use end-of-month for grouped entries.
Credit Impairment (Tab 105): Anchor: Date of adverse action/fee/interest charge; for prolonged impacts, break into documented charge periods.
Forced Liquidation (Tab 106): Anchor: Sale date per bill of sale/statement; note below-market differential basis in evidence.
Transportation (Tab 107): Anchor: Date of seizure/expense or replacement purchase; itemize per invoice.
Pain & Suffering (Tab 108): (non-economic) Default: Interest handling per counsel instruction; duration fact (2,278 days) documented as evidence.
Health & Medical (Tab 109): Anchor: Each EOB/paid invoice date; batch by provider with line-item totals as needed.

Tab 002 implementation: You'll input: (a) category subtotal(s), (b) anchor date(s), (c) optional notes on any conservative convention used. Tab 002 computes 9% simple through the verification date.

7) Evidence standards (receipt-first discipline)¶

Native files whenever possible (original PDFs, statements, EOBs).
Filename convention: BLUE_[Tab]_[short-desc]_YYYY-MM-DD_[amount].pdf Example: BLUE_101_Appliance_Repl_2020-02-18_1299.00.pdf
Traceability: Each claimed dollar must tie to a document in the category inventory.
Gaps: Note any missing receipts and add a conservative estimate only if counsel approves; mark clearly as estimate pending receipt.
No duplication: If a cost appears in two categories, assign to one and flag a cross-reference note in the other.
Chain of custody: Keep email source files (.eml/.msg) and statements in native form for authenticity.

8) Guardrails (to keep Blue "clean")¶

No Freeman Street references (all opportunity-loss lives in Red).
No policy multipliers (Network Effects / COVID Timing belong to Red).
No local math on category pages; all calculations/interest are in Tab 002.
Terminology: "9% simple interest per CPLR 5001–5004."
Professional tone: conservative assumptions, explicit notes on any conventions.

9) Strategic context (optional reading)¶

Blue as foundation (the "floor"). This section captures minimum, receipt-proven damages from the G21 flood. Red (Vol 06) addresses opportunity-loss (the "ceiling"). Together they define a settlement range.

Phase status. Phase 3 (validation) substantially complete. Tab 002 contains consensus-locked figures per G21 Base Control Number Insert v1.2 (2026-01-07). Remaining items (Tab 101.8 storage, Tab 109 health/medical) are tracked as TBD with explicit status flags.
