One recovery, from a wrong diary date to a protected statute
Monday 12 October 2026. Last night the Tampa office's recovery diary — 412 open files — was brought in. Here is what happens next, screen by screen, in the working solution.

Every open recovery, against its deadlines
Ines Calder · Recovery supervisorInes opens the deadline tracker: 1,284 open files and $14.62M open recoverable. Each file is a row with its statute, filing window and response bars on one calendar, red files first. Today: 9 red, 47 amber, 1,141 green, 87 protected — and $296,385 at risk. The forecast rail beside it shows $2,401,900 expected from October to March.

The morning deadline check, step by step
The agentsInes opens the steps. The Tampa diary was matched to claim files — 409 of them, 3 by claim number only. The Statute checker re-computed 412 limitation dates; 409 agree and 3 changed. The Correspondence reader read 63 new replies, offers and payments. The Letter drafter wrote 14 follow-ups, the Arbitration preparer drafted 2 filings, and 9 red files were escalated to Ines.

The diary said 2028
Statute checkerInes replays the check. SR-24-08817, Danielle Ostrowski v. Gulfmark Linen Services LLC: a 2022 Subaru Outback rear-ended at a red light in Clearwater, Florida, on 24 October 2024. The spreadsheet diary carried the statute to 24 October 2028 — Florida's old four-year period — so the file sat green, 743 days from its limitation date.
- 04Seconds later
Florida allows two years — 12 days left
Statute checkerThe loss is after Florida's 24 March 2023 change, so the two-year negligence period applies. The bar shrinks from 2028 to October and turns red: the statute runs Saturday 24 October 2026, and the last safe business day is Friday 23 October. The red count goes from 8 to 9, and the amount at risk from $275,440 to $296,385.
“Diary said 24 Oct 2028; the statute runs Sat 24 Oct 2026 — last safe business day Fri 23 Oct.”

Nine files that need a person this week
Deadline keeperNear expiry lists every red file with the action it needs and who decides: a reply to contentions due Friday, a cure notice on a missed $250 payment, three suit referrals to counsel, two tolling agreements still unsigned, and two arbitration filings to sign. The $142,300 Pinecrest Foods referral also needs Colette Arnaud, because it is over $100,000.
The Deadline keeper escalates — it never closes, writes off or files anything.

The file, with what the agents already did
Ines Calder · Recovery supervisorThe demand of $20,945.00 went to Cypress Coast Casualty on 14 January 2025. The adjuster changed from Jo Ann Pruett to Marcus Tillery; on 12 August 2025 he offered $16,325.00, excluding a $2,310.00 frame supplement as prior damage and $310.00 of rental beyond 7 days. Theo countered with photos on 20 August — and there has been no reply in 418 days. The filing and a final demand are already drafted.

An inter-company arbitration filing, every contention sourced
Arbitration preparerKestrel Ridge Insurance v. Cypress Coast Casualty, for $20,945.00: repair, 14 days of rental, towing and the insured's $1,000.00 deductible. Four contentions — liability, damages, the frame supplement and rental — each with its source, from the crash report to the pre-loss inspection of 3 September 2024 and the shop's parts log. Seven exhibits, 31 pages, and the checks before filing: inside the statute, the respondent a forum member, the deductible returned to the insured first.
No contention without a source.

Ines checks the sources and signs
Ines Calder · Recovery supervisorInes reads the contentions against their sources and signs with the meaning “I approve this filing”. The filing is stamped FILED 09:12 and the statute is protected. On the tracker the file moves to Protected, and its expected $17,990 lands in the January–February forecast — similar files took a median 84 days to a decision and most paid within 30 days of it.
Agents never file — the supervisor signs.

The final demand, waiting for Theo
Theo Marchetti · Subrogation specialistIn Follow-ups, the final demand to Marcus Tillery is first of 14 letters drafted for approval. It offers to settle at $19,800.00 if payment is confirmed by Monday 19 October 2026, says the filing for the full $20,945.00 will be withdrawn on receipt of payment, and states that the $1,000.00 deductible goes back to the insured first. Nothing is sent until the file's specialist approves it.

What the unit will actually collect, month by month
Raj Menon · Recovery finance analystThe forecast comes from how 6,912 closed recoveries paid from 2021 to 2026, by segment: $2,401,900 expected from October to March, $1,417,700 of it this quarter. Raj switches to the scenario where the red files are filed, tolled or referred this week: $129,760 more, $2,531,660 in all.
