# Tomas Reyes

<!-- src: interview with Rowan, 2026-09-05 -->

Outside counsel for [[ashcroft-tool-die]]. The only lawyer in the picture.

**If the Tool & Die future is "retool for aerospace" and it becomes a Halcyon
supplier, that is a related-party problem, and Tomas is the one who will say how
bad.**

> "I call him too late, every time."

Also the natural person for the **will**, which was last updated when [[Sam]] was
four, and for whatever the Rivet Yard personal guarantee implies. See `money`.

## 2026-09-15 — the call has a date, and a second subject
<!-- src: Rowan, Tuesday 2026-09-15 -->

**Rowan:** *"Tomas gets called this week, not in four months."*

The line above — *"I call him too late, every time"* — has been on this page
since 5 September and is the reason that sentence was said.

**He is now being called about two things, and only the first is what
`hobbs-cqf` was written for.**

1. **The related-party exposure** if Tool & Die supplies [[halcyon]]. Unchanged:
   ADR-22 decision 2 stands, undecided, and Tomas gates it. **Nothing is promised
   to anyone about that relationship until he has answered.**
2. **[[Claire]]'s proposal** — buying forty percent over five years out of
   profit. `ADR-26`, opened 15 September. **A staged transfer of forty percent of
   an inherited company is a larger question than the supply one**, and the vault
   holds none of its terms: no valuation, no structure, no view on what forty
   percent carries.

**Also his, and not folded into either:** the **will**, last updated when [[Sam]]
was four (`hobbs-4xe`), which a staged transfer intersects; and whatever the
Rivet Yard personal guarantee implies (ADR-17). Named here so the call is not
made twice.
