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Our programs draw from decades of research in psychology, communication, and behavioral science — not guesswork or outdated tactics — so you can conduct interviews that uncover reliable information while maintaining rapport and integrity.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
