INVESTIGATION PRIORITIES

IMMEDIATE ACTIONS (Next 24-48 hours):

How to Use:

You: "Check for similar cases involving this manager"

AI Response Example:

Comparative Analysis

Compare cases to identify trends:

You: "Compare this case to other harassment cases this year"

AI: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

HARASSMENT CASES THIS YEAR: 12 total

THIS CASE vs. AVERAGE:
• Severity: Higher (multiple witnesses)
• Evidence Quality: Better (specific quotes)
• Response Time: Standard
• Pattern Risk: Higher (repeat offender)

TRENDS IDENTIFIED:
• 40% involve management (vs 25% last year)
• Age discrimination up 50%
• Cases with witnesses resolve 30% faster
• 75% result in manager training or discipline

BENCHMARK RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on similar cases, typical outcomes include:
• Formal warning: 50%
• Suspension: 25%
• Termination: 15%
• Training only: 10%

Given pattern and severity, recommend:
Formal warning minimum, consider suspension

What-If Scenarios

Explore potential outcomes:

You: "What if we just give the manager more training?"

AI: SCENARIO ANALYSIS: Training-Only Response

PROS:
• Lower conflict/resistance
• Faster resolution
• Less disruptive
• Lower costs

CONS:
• Insufficient given pattern (2 prior complaints)
• May not prevent recurrence
• Could be seen as inadequate by reporter
• Doesn't address seriousness
• May encourage future violations
• Potential legal liability if pattern continues

RISK ASSESSMENT:
HIGH RISK - Training alone is likely insufficient

RECOMMENDATION:
Training should be part of response, not entire response.
Consider: Formal warning + training + probation + regular check-ins

SUPPORTING DATA:
• Cases with training-only after patterns: 60% recurrence
• Cases with progressive discipline: 15% recurrence
• Legal precedent favors stronger action for patterns

Best Practices

Do:

Provide Context: Give AI complete case information ✅ Ask Specific Questions: More specific = better answers ✅ Review Recommendations: AI assists, humans decide ✅ Upload Policies: Help AI understand your organization ✅ Save Important Analysis: Download or screenshot key insights ✅ Iterate: Ask follow-up questions for clarity ✅ Cross-Reference: Verify AI suggestions with policies

Don't:

Blindly Follow: AI is a tool, not a replacement for judgment ❌ Share Sensitive Data Unnecessarily: Only share what's needed ❌ Rely Solely on AI: Combine AI with human expertise ❌ Ignore Red Flags: If AI misses something obvious, note it ❌ Skip Documentation: Document your own analysis too
