Workplace Inquiry Mediated Table

Investigate the facts. Protect the process. Keep judgement human.

A private, AI-assisted environment for sensitive workplace inquiries. The room structures allegations, evidence, disclosures, timelines and findings so investigators can work from a disciplined record — while credibility, legal judgement and final decisions remain with people.

Investigator-led • evidence-aware • disclosure-controlled • human-decided
Core principle

AI strengthens the record. It does not become the authority.

The AI can check claims against admitted evidence, identify inconsistencies, restate accounts neutrally, protect disclosure boundaries, track timelines and test whether a proposed finding has a documentary basis. It does not decide credibility, determine misconduct, infer motive or choose corrective action.

The challenge is not only finding facts. It is preserving process integrity while you do it.

Sensitive inquiries can involve competing accounts, private medical material, protected witnesses, contested documents, interim measures, retaliation concerns and strict disclosure boundaries. The Workplace Inquiry Mediated Table keeps those elements connected to one record without treating them as though everyone should see everything.

🧭

Investigator-led by design

The investigator controls the file and the inquiry flow. The system structures the process without replacing the investigator.

📑

Claims tied to evidence

Factual statements can be separated into claims and checked against admitted evidence with source citations.

🔐

Need-to-know disclosure

Private submissions and protected witness material can remain restricted while still informing the record in controlled form.

⚖️

Human findings

The system can test whether a proposed finding has an evidentiary basis. The finding itself remains a human decision.

AI can make an inquiry more disciplined without turning it into automated adjudication.

What the AI can do

  • ✓Split factual statements into checkable claims and cite the evidence they rest on.
  • ✓Distinguish verified, contradicted, not covered, disputed-source and non-checkable material.
  • ✓Restate one party's account neutrally before it is put to another party.
  • ✓Block protected or private material from surfacing in an unauthorised recipient view.
  • ✓Track timelines, structured checks, interim measures and evidentiary dependencies.

What the AI does not do

  • ×Decide whether a person is truthful or credible.
  • ×Determine whether conduct amounts to misconduct or harassment.
  • ×Infer motive merely from timing or correlation.
  • ×Choose sanctions, corrective action or legal conclusions.
  • ×Replace the investigator, Internal Committee, legal counsel or authorised decision-maker.

A disciplined inquiry from intake to written record.

The workflow follows the investigator-led pattern demonstrated in The Mediated Table proof of concept: allegations become structured issues, evidence is controlled, each party receives only the appropriate view, and findings must be grounded in the labelled record.

01

Convene & intake

Define roles, inquiry rules, target timeline, confidentiality and any immediate interim measures.

02

Structure the allegations

Each allegation becomes a trackable clause with its own evidence, status, criterion and eventual finding.

03

Collect & classify evidence

Policies, messages, emails, HR records, performance records, witness statements and other documents are admitted, disputed, private or protected.

04

Label factual claims

Claims are checked against the admitted record. Opinions, feelings and requests remain distinguishable from documentary facts.

05

Put the account neutrally

The other party receives an investigator-approved restatement rather than the opposing party's raw filing, with disclosure controls applied first.

06

Check responses & measures

Responses are checked against the record; hostile wording can be nudged; requests inconsistent with interim measures can be flagged before delivery.

07

Witnesses, timelines & cruxes

The room separates what documents establish from what still requires human judgement, while structured checks quantify what can be counted.

08

Contest & investigator review

A party may challenge a label. The investigator can review the basis without unnecessarily revealing protected material or a sealed identity.

09

Human findings & actions

The authorised panel or investigator records findings and corrective actions. The system can require a documentary or structured basis before a finding is recorded.

10

Record, notices & verification

The room renders the investigation record and recipient-specific notices, then checks disclosure, exports, timeline and audit-chain integrity.

An inquiry record built from the process itself.

Rather than assembling the final report from disconnected notes after the fact, the Workplace Inquiry Mediated Table keeps the structure of the inquiry alive throughout: allegation status, evidence, claims, contests, interim measures, findings, actions and recipient-specific notices.

Disclosure is part of the architecture: the file can know more than any individual participant is permitted to see. A protected witness may remain sealed, while the recipient sees only the permitted neutral form of the evidentiary basis.

For sensitive matters where evidence, confidentiality and procedural fairness all matter.

The room provides inquiry structure. Applicable law, policy, evidentiary standard, procedural rights and final legal conclusions must be configured and validated for the organisation and jurisdiction.

🧑‍💼

Workplace conduct

Complaints involving inappropriate conduct, interpersonal behaviour, policy breaches or management actions that require a structured factual inquiry.

🛡️

Harassment & retaliation

Matters involving sensitive allegations, protected witnesses, private records, interim measures and subsequent-action timelines.

📋

Policy & compliance inquiries

Cases where training records, system logs, policy requirements or other documentary records can settle part of the factual dispute directly.

🏢

Employee Relations matters

Internal or external-investigator workflows requiring consistent evidence handling, controlled disclosure and a defensible written record.

Protected material without uncontrolled disclosure

Private medical information or a protected witness statement can remain outside a party's view while the system still records the permitted evidentiary basis and supports investigator review.

Findings that must connect back to the record

A proposed substantiated finding can be tested for documentary or structured support before it is recorded, while the actual assessment of conduct, credibility and policy remains with human decision-makers.

Give the inquiry more structure — without giving the technology the judgement.

The Workplace Inquiry Mediated Table brings evidence, disclosure, process checks, findings and final records into one governed environment — so people can make consequential workplace decisions from a clearer, more defensible record.
