Waypointe Group is an Ottawa-based firm that helps people and organizations make difficult decisions, with discreet inquiry, analytical discipline and findings documented clearly enough to stand behind.
People who call an investigator are usually facing a hard decision. They deserve calm, candour and a clear account of what was found.
Our work is about reducing uncertainty, so that the decision in front of you is made on facts that have been gathered properly and written down plainly.
Independent fact-finding into workplace allegations, misconduct and internal concerns, conducted with procedural care so decision-makers can act on a record rather than a rumour.
Background and open-source research on prospective partners, hires, tenants and counterparties, drawn from lawfully accessible records and clearly sourced.
Investigative support for counsel: locating witnesses, gathering statements, and organizing facts into a clear chronology. Admissibility is always a matter for counsel and the court.
Personal matters handled with discretion and restraint: verifying information, locating people you have a legitimate reason to find, and observation where it is lawful and proportionate.
Services and methods depend on the matter and on applicable law. Scope, geography across the National Capital Region, and any licensing requirements are confirmed at consultation.
Four stages, in order. Nothing moves to the next without your agreement.
A short, general conversation about the decision you face. We ask what you need to know, not for your evidence.
We agree in writing on the questions, the methods, the limits and the budget before any work begins. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.
Lawful, proportionate work: records research, interviews, open-source review and observation where appropriate. Progress is reported at agreed points.
A plain-language written report separating what was observed, what was sourced, and what remains unknown, with methods and limitations stated.
Findings are written for the person who has to decide, and structured so counsel, a board or an HR lead can follow exactly how each conclusion was reached.
A Canadian firm based in Ottawa, working for clients across the National Capital Region, from downtown offices to rural townships.
Matters that cross into Gatineau or elsewhere in Quebec raise separate legal and licensing questions. We discuss geography openly at consultation and will tell you if a matter is outside what we can take on.
Tell us only how to reach you. Please do not send names of other parties, documents, photos or case details here. We discuss specifics once we have spoken and agreed a suitable channel.
