Make and do

Write up a workplace investigation

A complaint becomes a list of allegations, interviews become cited statements, then an evidence map and a report draft where every sentence cites its line. The finding stays blank for you.

The steps

  1. 1Organise the complaint
  2. 2Summarise the interviews
  3. 3Map the evidence
  4. 4Draft the report

Who it's for

The HR generalist or ER lead who runs internal investigations, an outside workplace investigator, or employment counsel.

What they do today

Notes in a notebook or a Word file, a complaint that is now often ten polished pages written with an AI assistant, and a report typed from memory days later. An outside investigation costs thousands of dollars.

The moment it earns its keep

A long complaint becomes a list of allegations in a couple of minutes, with the one buried on page nine flagged; then a report where every sentence points at the interview line it came from.

What it never does

  • It never states a finding or says whether anything happened.
  • It never judges anyone's credibility.
  • It never recommends discipline or any action against a person.
  • It never reads the medical or leave file.
  • It never treats an AI-written complaint as less believable.

It isn't legal advice and doesn't say anything is “compliant”. It shows the rule it applied, with the date we checked it.
