Hey Dave,
I am writing to provide you with a summary report on the breach of contract case we are planning to
pursue against Phenom People. This report aims to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the
situation and the key points relevant to our case.
1. Introduction
This case centers on a significant breach of contract by Phenom People, which has prompted our need
for legal intervention and resolution. The breach pertains to a contractual agreement between our
company, RedefineHR, and Phenom People, with implications for both parties and their respective
contractual obligations. Within this document, we aim to provide a concise overview of the breach,
setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the case.
2. Contract Details
Inclusion of Pruitt Health in Co-Seller Contract
Our records, including messages and attached PDFs, confirm our mutual agreement to include Pruitt
Health in the new co-seller contract. We firmly believe that this inclusion in the accelerator program,
coupled with our reliance on the data provided in the spreadsheet, would have enabled us to meet our
120% accelerator target. This achievement would result in a 5% bonus to RedefineHR (RHR),
approximating $68,452.
It is critical to emphasize that Phenom People has demonstrably failed to fulfill these contractual
obligations, including the receipt of the $40,000 from Baylor Scott White. Phenom states that Baylor has
not paid them, however, the site is still live and active, further inferring that BSW has paid their bill. Also,
we have several internal resources that are stating that they have heard that BSW has continued the
contract with Phenom.
Chronology of Events
It is important to emphasize that we relied extensively on information received from Phenom People's
accounting and leadership teams, further underlining the significance of the provided data.
These pieces of information are fundamental to our case and offer clarity on the contractual obligations
and expectations that have been established. We kindly request your review of these critical dates and
documents as we proceed in addressing the breach of contract matter.
Breach of Contract
Long-standing Breach
The breach of contract by Phenom People has endured for an extended period, spanning nearly a year.
During this time, they have consistently maintained, both in written correspondence and phone
discussions, that they are not obligated to honor the accelerator payments specified in our agreement.
Furthermore, despite our efforts, invoices submitted to Phenom People in May 2023 remain
outstanding.
The outstanding amount on these invoices is a substantial $76,394, yet its reliability is cast into doubt by
the pervasive inconsistencies and misrepresentations evident in their accounting practices.
Chris's Privileges
It is crucial to note that Chris is not an accountant, nor does he have the obligations to access the
underlying cash flow information within the company. His actions and calculations, therefore, raise
questions about their validity and alignment with the contract terms.
To further support our claims, we have provided an audio recording of a meeting, which can be accessed

Damages Incurred
In light of the breach of contract by Phenom People and the corresponding impact on our business, we
firmly believe we are entitled to collect the following:
Future Referrals
Beyond the immediate financial losses, we anticipate further damages in the form of lost revenue from
future referrals. We expect that existing referrals due for renewal during the 2024 calendar year, along
with additional renewal and add-on commission, will be adversely affected by the breach and if we
pursue legal action against the company.
These damages reflect both the financial shortfall we have already experienced and the potential future
losses stemming from the breach of contract. We are committed to pursuing these claims to ensure that
our contractual rights are upheld and that our financial interests are protected.
Inaccurate Spreadsheets
Discrepancies are evident when comparing spreadsheets provided by Toni (phenomAccountant) with
those sent by non-accounting professionals, Meghan Luff and Brian Kelly. The inconsistency is notably
apparent in the omission of SKUs that should be eligible for payment. For a detailed reference, we invite
you to review the "Phenom X Redefine Client Data Request" spreadsheet against the "Phenom+ Redefine
Client Data Request_Current SKUs." This comparison reveals substantial discrepancies in the data
provided.
Disorganization and Communication Issues
These inaccuracies in the spreadsheets underscore the disorganized nature of Phenom People's Cosell
program and their inability to effectively communicate critical information. This has posed challenges in
our ability to account for our commissions accurately.
Given these concerns, we are considering the necessity of conducting a comprehensive audit of Phenom
People's internal financial records. This step is prompted by the belief that there may be a substantial
sum of money to which we are entitled but has not been paid out due to inaccuracies and
misrepresentations in their SKUs and accounting practices.
Evidence
We have attached all emails, spreadsheets, and communications with the Unphenomal team.
Furthermore, it's worth noting that throughout our interactions, we have encountered considerable
delays and non-responsiveness in their communication, primarily from individuals such as Brian Kelly
and Chris Grimes. This has compounded the challenges we've faced in trying to address the breach of
contract and resolve related issues; thus, we are now pursuing legal action.
This information provides context about the overall nature of our interactions with Phenom People and
can be considered when evaluating the entire case.
Desired Outcome
In response to the breach of contract by Phenom People and the associated damages incurred, we are
determined to pursue legal action to recoup all the payments due, including those related to the
accelerator program, missing SKU payments and Baylor Scott White payments. Additionally, we intend to
seek reimbursement for the legal fees incurred during the course of this legal process.
Our objective is to secure a just resolution to this matter and ensure that our contractual rights and
financial interests are upheld. We are committed to taking the necessary steps to achieve this outcome
and seek your expert legal guidance and support in this pursuit.
In addition to pursuing recovery for the immediate financial losses incurred, we also seek remedies to
address the potential future values of our renewals, add-ons, and referred clients, particularly in the case
of Starbucks and AutoZone. These future revenues, which may be adversely affected by the breach of
contract, are a critical component of our financial outlook.
