Our Approach: Practical, Principled, Proven

At Faro Point, our work is guided by three core principles: clarity, fairness, and discretion. But how we get there matters. Below are the methodologies we bring to each engagement.

1. Investigative Rigor

We apply structured, defensible investigative techniques modeled after federal standards:

• Fact-finding grounded in documentation, interviews, and corroboration

• Objective assessments using consistency, credibility, and plausibility tests

• Clear report writing that avoids speculation and withstands scrutiny

2. Risk-Tiered Interventions

Not every issue requires the same level of response. We categorize concerns by urgency, impact, and organizational exposure, then tailor support accordingly:

• Low-risk: Coaching, documentation guidance, facilitated conversations

• Moderate-risk: Root cause analysis, issue resolution plans, leadership briefings

• High-risk: Full investigations, coordination with internal or external counsel when appropriate, executive strategy sessions

3. Cultural and Climate Awareness

We don’t assess issues in a vacuum. Our team uses diagnostic tools like:

• Confidential listening sessions

• Pattern and trend analysis

• Culture pulse surveys (custom or partnered tools)

4. Strategic Alignment

We ensure our recommendations are actionable and aligned with your leadership goals:

• Decision pathways with risk trade-offs clearly outlined

• Roadmaps for sustainable resolution, not one-off fixes

• Coaching support for leaders managing outcomes
