We Make Your Team More Effective
At IXI, we specialize in science-based interview and interrogation training that equips professionals with proven, ethical, and effective techniques.
Our programs draw from decades of research in psychology, communication, and behavioral science — not guesswork or outdated tactics — so you can conduct interviews that uncover reliable information while maintaining rapport and integrity.
Why Science-Based Interviewing Works
The days of confrontational, high-pressure interrogations are over. Modern investigative interviewing is built on evidence-based techniques such as the Cognitive Interview, Strategic Use of Evidence (SUE), and active listening.
Whether you are conducting workplace investigations, criminal interviews, or compliance-related inquiries, our training helps you:
-
Increase the accuracy of information collected
-
Detect deception, cognitively, not with pseudoscience
-
Reduce false confessions, false information, and legal risk
-
Build cooperation through rapport and empathy
