Why P3i exists
Too many investigations end with a name. Ours end with a fix.
When something goes wrong, the quickest report blames the person nearest to it. The warning letter is signed, the file is closed, and a few months later the same thing happens on another shift. P3i was set up to break that cycle.
We establish what happened from evidence, find the conditions that made it possible, and then look across the organisation for the same weakness elsewhere. One investigation, done properly, closes many gaps at once. That is where the value for our clients lies.
We also train. Investigators, supervisors and leaders from more than 100 nationalities have learned the method with us, so the next investigation inside your organisation is done well too.
What we stand for
Five principles we never trade away.
01
Fact-finding, not fault-finding
We look for causes in the system of work, not a person to blame.
02
Evidence before opinion
Every finding is tied to a record, a measurement or independent accounts.
03
Independent
We sell no equipment, insurance or software, and our fee does not depend on the findings.
04
Confidential
Client names, people and case details are never published without written consent.
05
Fewer, stronger actions
A short plan with owners, dates and a check that it worked.
Who you will work with
A team built around each case.
Every investigation is led by a senior lead investigator. Around them we bring in the specialists your case needs, and you are told who is on the team before work starts.
Specialist roles are drawn from P3i's team and associates according to the case. Qualifications are confirmed in writing on request.

Independent fact-finding
Incident, accident and business investigations; root cause analysis; HiPO investigation; project and multi-party reviews; support for insurers and loss adjusters; and investigation training at every level.

Clear boundaries
We carry out corporate fact-finding. Where specialist testing is needed we work alongside accredited laboratories; legal advice stays with your lawyers; official processes stay with the authorities.
