WZ-led sensitive interviews
Outside investigators run the interviews — complainant, witness, and subject — under the WZ non-confrontational method.
Enterprise Advisory
Sensitive matters. Conflicted ones. The ones beyond your team's current capacity. WZ Investigative Services supports public-sector agencies, private-sector employers, and HR/ER teams — taking the case, running the interviews, and handing back a documented file that holds up to any level of outside review.
Four signals that the matter needs outside hands.
When internal investigators report up to (or work alongside) the subject, neutrality is impossible. WZ steps in as the outside investigator.
Capacity is finite. When a single high-stakes investigation would consume the team for weeks, WZ runs it in parallel.
Trauma-informed interviewing, false-confession risk, federal-grade documentation — when the case needs CFI-credentialed depth.
When the investigation has to hold up to litigation, regulator review, or board-level scrutiny, WZ's documentation discipline is the safeguard.
Four service patterns. Most engagements are some combination of these.
Outside investigators run the interviews — complainant, witness, and subject — under the WZ non-confrontational method.
A senior CFI reviews a completed investigation for interview quality, documentation defensibility, and soundness of conclusions.
WZ investigators sit alongside your team for a defined window — handling a backlog, an event spike, or a special project.
For events that can't wait — a major theft event, a public misconduct allegation, a safety incident — WZ deploys interviewers within 24 hours.
Examples of the kind of work that lands with Investigative Services.
