Investigation Readiness Intensive
Training for Teams Handling Protected-Class Investigations
Defensible under scrutiny, actionable inside your organization.
When investigation quality matters, consistency becomes essential.
Protected-class investigations require structure, judgment, and disciplined practice, especially when teams have mixed experience levels and leadership expects reliable outcomes.
The Investigation Readiness Intensive is live, onsite training for teams who are already doing the work and want to strengthen their investigative practice through a proven framework.
This is training delivered as an intensive, because the work demands it.
Why Teams Engage Us
Organizations bring us in when:
Investigators have varying experience levels and need a consistent approach
Prior training focused on theory rather than practical application
Documentation and analysis need greater consistency across cases
Leaders are spending too much time revising reports and re-working findings
Credibility and defensibility matter, internally and externally
This isn’t about learning more rules.
It’s about strengthening investigative practice.
What Makes This Intensive Different
Most investigator training focuses on information.
This intensive focuses on how investigators think and work.
We teach a consistent investigative framework grounded in protected-class standards, the same CLEAR Investigation Framework™ we use in our third-party investigations, and AI models.
The structure stays consistent.
The application reflects your organization.
That balance allows teams to investigate confidently without improvising on fundamentals.
The CLEAR Investigation Framework™
All training is built around the CLEAR Investigation Framework™:
Capture the Complaint
Establish a structured starting point
Launch the Strategy
Address safety, retaliation, and planning considerations early
Evaluate the Evidence
Organize testimonial, documentary, digital, and physical evidence
Analyze Impartially
Apply standards and assess credibility with discipline
Report with Clarity
Deliver findings stakeholders can understand and evaluate
Style can vary.
Standards cannot.
How the Intensive Is Structured
This is a practicum, not a lecture.
The Intensive is modular and adaptable.
Teams may engage in a multi-day experience covering the full investigative lifecycle, or focus on specific areas based on immediate needs.
Participants work through:
Realistic case scenarios
Mock interviews with feedback
Guided analysis exercises
Facilitated discussion
Live coaching from an experienced investigator
Core focus areas include:
Every engagement is customized, without changing the investigative framework.
Intake and scope development
Evidence collection and credibility assessment
Analysis aligned with policy standards
Findings development and communication
What This Intensive Supports
Teams typically develop:
A shared investigative language across the team
Clearer documentation habits that support analysis and review
Stronger interview confidence and technique consistency
More defensible findings that are easier to explain and evaluate
Reduced review cycles through improved initial report quality
“We don’t promise shortcuts. We build disciplined investigative practice.”
Why Organizations Are Investing in Investigative Capacity
The operational environment continues to evolve:
Expectations for transparency and consistency are rising
Teams are managing more complex cases with the same resources
Leadership needs reliable processes that produce defensible outcomes
Specialized professional development builds long-term capacity
Organizations that invest in investigative training create sustainable advantages:
More consistent outcomes across investigators and cases
Reduced oversight burden on leadership
Stronger team confidence and competence
Increased trust in the investigative process
How to Get Started
Before scheduling an intensive, we conduct a brief Training Readiness Assessment to understand:
Your team’s experience levels and current challenges
Priority skill gaps or focus areas
Scheduling constraints and operational realities
Organizational context and expectations
From there, we design the engagement.
