The Complete Exercise Set

You work every stage of the discipline, from generating leads out of thin facts through validating them to primary source and building an evidence package that holds. Nothing is sampled. All of it is practiced.

A Capstone That Scores Your Judgment

You take a full AI-assisted investigation to conclusion and are assessed against it. The capstone is gated at 80 percent, so the certificate behind it means something.

A Certificate That Documents the Standard

You leave with a credential that records not that you attended, but that you met the standard the work requires.

About the course

This is the complete course. Four hours, the full exercise set, a scored capstone, and a certificate. It is built for the investigator who wants to own AI-assisted work as a discipline rather than sample it, and to hold a credential that says so. You work every stage of the work. A thin set of facts that has to become real leads. AI output that mixes genuine findings with fabrications. A set of leads that has to be validated against the source hierarchy. An evidence package that has to hold up when it reaches law enforcement or opposing counsel. Then you take a full case to its end and are assessed against it, with the certificate gated behind an 80 percent standard so it carries weight. Every exercise and the capstone are drawn from real engagements, reworked for practice. You leave having done the whole discipline and proven you can, not having watched it explained.

Work the complete exercise set, every stage from lead generation to a defensible evidence package, with nothing left as a sample.

Prove your judgment against a scored capstone investigation gated at 80 percent, so passing carries weight.

Earn a certificate that documents the standard you met, not merely the time you spent.

Inside the Workshop

Four hours. Ten teaching lessons, four hands-on exercises, and a scored capstone, building from where AI belongs in a case to an evidence package that holds up. Where AI Fits  •  AI's role in modern investigations, the use cases where it adds value, and a framework for AI-assisted work.  •  Exercise: Lead Generation from Limited Facts Where AI Fails  •  Recognizing and avoiding AI failure modes.  •  Exercise: Investigative Risk Identification Validating What AI Produces  •  The source hierarchy, and validation workflows for AI-generated leads.  •  Exercise: Validating AI-Generated Findings Documenting to a Defensible Standard  •  Documentation and defensibility, then building a defensible lead package.  •  Exercise: Building an Evidence Package Capstone  •  Overview, practice, and scenario, then a scored capstone assessment gated at 80 percent. The certificate and downloadable job aids unlock on completion. Every exercise and the capstone are drawn from real engagements, reworked for practice. You leave having done the whole discipline and proven you can.
