CSI-Anywhere: Solving a mystery is as "simple" as reconstructing a story using the most basic building blocks: who, what, where, when, why and how. The complexity of the mystery depends on how much of the basic information is known at the beginning of the investigation. Whether you're a professional private investigator or simply trying to find out who left the cap off of the toothpaste again, this ThoughtOffice's module can help you learn (and improve) the skills needed to get your man every time.
The Investigation Module component of our program guides you through a logical progression of questions, helping you to achieve a single-minded focus on the facts without prejudice or bias but with a healthy amount of skepticism (channeling Telly Savalas or Peter Falk would be helpful, though difficult). Your own curiosity, tenacity and resolve as a detective will be sparked by the as-yet unanswerable questions, leading you to form an initial hypothesis for those unknowns. This is where you get to unleash your deviously creative mind: Who would do such a thing? Why would they ever do such a thing? How could they do such a thing? You will support the development of your hypothesis by conceiving of plausible motivations and actions your theoretical suspect would have.
ThoughtOffice's Private Investigator module then helps you process the information you gather through interviews, surveillance and other investigative procedures. You can do this. Observation is defined as perception plus attention. Sifting through your findings like a bloodhound on the scent, you will use ThoughtOffice's exhaustive series of questions and concepts to help you delineate fact from fiction in your systematic search for evidence. Once you have verified and/or corroborated your cache of facts, you're prepared to start making conclusions and testing your hypotheses.
You will sharpen your critical thinking skills, inductive and deductive reasoning, analytical assessment and above all else, your ability to remain open minded to any twists and turns your investigation may unveil with ThoughtOffice's Private Investigator module. Your interface with Expert PI will train you to consider every possible aspect of every stage of your investigation.
You will ask yourself questions like:
On what evidence have I based my conclusion?
Do I have enough evidence?
Is my evidence relevant?
Have I considered negative evidence-i.e. evidence, which might point toward a different conclusion?
Is my conclusion verifiable?
Is this the only possible conclusion that can be drawn?
Would others, given the same evidence, arrive at the same conclusion?
