# Verity Group Research Project Scope & Emergency Vehicle Recovery

**February 18, 2026 at 02:12 PM** · 49m 21s

This call primarily focused on finalizing a research project proposal for the Verity Group's life care planning business. Speaker A and Speaker B discussed their understanding from a meeting with Brent, who has been given authority to drive outcomes for Verity Group. They agreed on a research approach that would provide detailed industry analysis without explicit conclusions in the document itself, allowing them to present strategic recommendations verbally later. The scope includes industry sizing, competitive analysis, interviews with life care planners, and identifying demand drivers and regulatory headwinds. They set the project fee at $25,000 with $2,500 due upfront.

The call was interrupted by an urgent situation (Speaker C/Julie) involving a stolen/hostaged vehicle - a Tahoe taken by someone named Basile from Santa Rosa. The vehicle ended up at a body shop demanding $8,600 plus daily fees. The issue was complicated by the lack of a GPS tracker in the vehicle. Speaker B directed the team to involve Richard, Katie, and attorney Jeff Bohr to handle the situation aggressively.

After resolving the vehicle emergency, Speakers A and B finalized the Verity proposal details, including timeline, deliverables, and pricing structure. They also scheduled working sessions for the next day to work on DOT-related projects and a bathroom trailer initiative. Speaker B was tasked with driving the Verity project forward while Speaker A would maintain editorial oversight.
