Better Information.
Better Decisions.
Better Interviews.
Science-based interviewing training and advisory support for investigators, corporate leaders, HR teams, and organizations that need reliable, defensible information in high-stakes conversations.
The problem with legacy interviewing.
Confession-driven, accusatorial techniques were built on assumptions — not evidence. Modern research has exposed their cost: wrongful convictions, contaminated information, and decisions that cannot withstand scrutiny.
Assumptions create risk
Confirmation bias and shortcut thinking lead investigators to the wrong conclusions and expose organizations to liability.
Coercion contaminates information
Pressure-based tactics produce unreliable statements, suppressed evidence, and reversed convictions.
Poor questions reduce reliability
Closed-ended and suggestive questioning corrupts memory and yields shallow, ambiguous information.
Bias distorts decisions
Unexamined assumptions shape who is interviewed, what is asked, and what gets believed.
Organizations need defensible records
Investigations must withstand legal, regulatory, and public scrutiny — the process matters as much as the outcome.
The science-based alternative.
SBI replaces outdated, coercion-based interviewing with research-validated methods designed to gather accurate, complete, and defensible information.
