Find the facts. Assess the risk. Document it so it holds up.
Telos Risk Intelligence is a licensed Washington private investigation and protective intelligence firm with offices in Seattle and Spokane. We work for attorneys, insurance carriers, institutions, and executives.
A report is only useful if someone can rely on it.
An attorney needs findings that survive cross-examination. An insurance carrier needs surveillance that documents what happened, not what the investigator hoped to see. A hospital administrator needs to know whether the person making threats is likely to act, and what to do about it on Monday morning.
We plan every engagement backward from that moment. Who will rely on this work? What will it have to withstand? Then we go get the facts.
WHY TELOS
We have worked inside the systems you are dealing with.
Telos was founded by investigators who spent their careers inside institutions: hospital security, state-agency investigations, public-sector risk management, and claims. We know how a hospital incident review runs, how an agency documents a finding, how a claim file gets read, and what a judge expects from an investigator on the stand.
Structured judgment, not gut feeling. Threat assessments use the WAVR-21, a recognized structured professional judgment instrument for workplace and campus violence risk.
Analytic discipline. We separate what we know from what we assess, grade our sources, and state our confidence in plain language.
Discretion as a working practice. Need-to-know handling, controlled distribution, and records kept to a written standard.

How an engagement works
WORKING WITH US
What you can expect
You set the reporting cadence and we keep to it. These four commitments apply to every engagement.
The person who scopes your matter is the person accountable for it.
You approve the plan and the cost before work starts. No surprises on the invoice.
Each one is tied to its source, and we say how confident we are and why.
We are paid for the work, never for the outcome. That keeps our findings credible when challenged.
