| 32 | Password crack — Office | 400 | $8 | $3,200 | Batch rate confirmed with vendor. | |
| 33 | Password crack — archives | 212 | $60 | $12,720 | May reduce via custodian re-ask; try that first for ~80 files. | |
| 34 | PST partial recovery | 2 PSTs | $700 | $1,400 | Fixed price agreed. | |
| 35 | Custodian re-collection — Delaney | 1 | $3,500 | $3,500 | Includes personal-device scoping conversation. | |
| 36 | Total remediation ask | $20,820 | Break-even: ~470 additional responsive docs at $45/doc review cost. | |||
Practitioner conclusion. The corpus processed cleanly enough. The one systemic issue is with custodian Nguyen — encrypted volumes require a client-driven conversation, not a vendor push. Custodian Delaney's under-delivery warrants a targeted re-collection focused on personal-device use, budgeted at $3,500. The $20,820 total remediation ask is proportionate to a matter this size and is expected to surface ~500–800 additional responsive documents.
