When it comes to work , the issue is not just about "knowing". It's about being able to act (HR, lawyer, insurance, court) with proper, dated, verifiable evidence — and obtained within a legal framework .
Here is the AzurX method, simple and secure:
1) We clarify the need (and the risk)
Before taking any action:
What is the specific act (fraud, abusive sick leave, internal theft, unfair competition, customer poaching, information leak…)?
What is the objective: internal (HR) or litigation (lawyer) ?
What are the legal risks (privacy, excessive surveillance, data collection)?
Objective: to avoid unusable “evidence” or, worse, evidence that backfires on the company.
2) We define a proof strategy
Depending on the context, the following are preferred:
Verifications and cross-checks (facts, dates, places, consistency)
Factual findings (observations, objective elements)
Field investigation when relevant, with a strict scope
Always with the same logic: less but better = usable elements.
3) We document it so that it can be used
A useful element is:
dated , specific , contextualized
reproducible (not “I was told that…”)
presented clearly for a decision-maker (manager/HR) and, if necessary, a lawyer
The goal is not sensationalism: it is the decision (sanction, negotiation, break, action).
4) Realistic deadlines and budget are announced.
In business, the number one variable is often timing :
HR emergency
sensitive period (leak, departure, call for tenders)
The need to act without raising the alarm
We set the framework from the outset:
Timeframe (initial elements vs final report)
budget (range depending on complexity and terrain)
✅ Key takeaway : In the workplace, the right question is not “can we investigate?” but “how can we obtain usable information without jeopardizing the company?”
If you want, you can give me (in a message) 3 pieces of information:
the type of case ( fraud / arrest / competition / theft / escape)
the area ( French Riviera …)
Urgent (48 hours / 1 week / 1 month)
…and I propose a realistic, step-by-step proof strategy , without going into sensitive details.
