Technology
How We Document a Scene
Thorough documentation protects the file long after the scene is released. Our investigators capture the scene using iGUIDE, producing accurate, measured floor plans and immersive 3D tours, so clients and counsel can revisit the scene and its dimensions from anywhere as a claim, subrogation file, or litigation develops.
Process
What Happens After You Assign a Loss
From the first call, you always know where your file stands. Here is what to expect.
Assignment confirmed
We acknowledge the assignment quickly and confirm scope, access, and any time-sensitive concerns.
Investigator contact
Your assigned investigator makes direct contact, so you are working directly with the person handling the file.
Scene coordination and preservation
We coordinate access, secure the scene, and preserve critical evidence before conditions change.
Initial findings
You receive timely verbal findings from the scene, so you can begin making decisions before the written report is complete.
Evidence handling
Full chain of custody from the scene to secure storage, handled by our own team.
Reporting
You receive a clear, defensible report that supports the decision in front of you, whether that is closing the file, referring it to subrogation, or opening a liability file.
Beyond the conclusion
More than an Origin and Cause Conclusion
Origin and cause is where the investigation starts, not where our value ends. On every assignment, we tell you what the findings mean for the file.
How the findings affect coverage
Potential avenues of subrogation
Areas of liability and exposure
The status and location of preserved evidence
A single point of contact who knows your file end to end

Au-delà de la technique,
une philosophie.
La violence n'est pas une fatalité, c'est une variable que l'on peut apprendre à gérer. Mon approche ne vise pas à créer des combattants, mais des professionnels lucides et sereins.
Avec un Master en pédagogie et 15 ans de pratique du Krav Maga, j'ai développé une méthode unique qui traduit les principes de survie en compétences managériales : gestion du stress, prise de décision rapide, et désescalade verbale.
