About WZ

Enterprise Advisory

Outside hands for the hardest interviews.

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.

When to engage WZ

Four signals that the matter needs outside hands.

  • The matter implicates a senior executive

    When internal investigators report up to (or work alongside) the subject, neutrality is impossible. WZ steps in as the outside investigator.

  • Your team can't absorb another major case

    Capacity is finite. When a single high-stakes investigation would consume the team for weeks, WZ runs it in parallel.

  • The case requires specialized interview expertise

    Trauma-informed interviewing, false-confession risk, federal-grade documentation — when the case needs CFI-credentialed depth.

  • Outside review or audit is coming

    When the investigation has to hold up to litigation, regulator review, or board-level scrutiny, WZ's documentation discipline is the safeguard.

Service catalog

Four service patterns. Most engagements are some combination of these.

IS-01 Per-case engagement

WZ-led sensitive interviews

Outside investigators run the interviews — complainant, witness, and subject — under the WZ non-confrontational method.

Same-week start Engage →
IS-02 1–2 weeks

Independent case review

A senior CFI reviews a completed investigation for interview quality, documentation defensibility, and soundness of conclusions.

Embedded surge capacity

WZ investigators sit alongside your team for a defined window — handling a backlog, an event spike, or a special project.

Monthly engagement Engage →
IS-04 Rapid response

Crisis interview deployment

For events that can't wait — a major theft event, a public misconduct allegation, a safety incident — WZ deploys interviewers within 24 hours.

24-hour SLA available Engage →

Anonymized cases

How every engagement runs

  • CFI-credentialed lead on every engagement
  • Documented interview discipline that holds up to outside review
  • Clear handoff at engagement close — your team owns the outcome
  • Privileged channel through outside counsel where required
