White Tab 003▸ Entry — WT‑202 Discovery Packet (Julian Rivera — Total Restoration, Inc.)¶

GUARDRAIL: WHITE — FACT REPOSITORY ONLY

Facts & source pinpoints only. No strategy, no argument, no legal opinions. All quotations are "as reported" unless exact text appears in a cited source.

A) Objective & Custody (facts‑only)¶

Objective. Collect, authenticate, and Bates‑index the Total Restoration, Inc. (TRI) records for Julian Rivera tied to WT‑104 Meeting B.3 (Feb 26, 2020) — the post‑claim‑approval walkthrough/mold scope — and verify any presence at B.1 (Dec 11, 2019) or B.2 (mid/late Dec 2019). Targets include field artifacts, scope notes, communications, and materials exchanged with the public adjuster/carrier for G21 (226 Franklin St., Apt. G21 / entrance 97 Green St.).

Primary witness (White): Julian Rivera — Total Restoration, Inc. Role, dates, and reported statements are documented in WT‑202 witness profile.

Tenant non‑possession (explicit). TRI is an owner‑side contractor. The tenant does not possess TRI's job file, HR/personnel records, scope notes/estimates, internal communications, or originals of TRI photos; these reside with custodians (TRI; owner/owner's counsel; and, where shared, Power Adjustment and the carrier/IA).

Naming canon. Use Total Restoration, Inc. throughout (replace any legacy "Total Remediation/Industries" labels).

WT‑104 framework alignment (B.0–B.3):

B.0 (late Nov 2019): No Rivera appearance recorded (Roussis baseline with Gray).
B.1 (Dec 11, 2019): Rivera possible (TR representative = Roussis and/or Rivera — to be established).
B.2 (mid/late Dec 2019): Rivera presence to be verified; Alex Morales not at B.2.
B.3 (Feb 26, 2020): Rivera present (confirmed) — post‑claim‑approval walkthrough/mold scope.

Note: B.1 and B.2 occurred on different days.
