Polygraph Case Studies
Real Tests, Real Situations, Honest Outcomes

Guides explain how lie detector testing works - case studies show what it is actually like to use one. Each study below follows a real situation from first phone call to written result: how the questions were designed, what the test day involved, and what the outcome changed. Names and identifying details are altered throughout to protect confidentiality.

Three situations bring most people to a lie detector test: a relationship accusation, losses at work, and money going missing in a family. There is a case study for each - and the common thread running through all three is that the test design, agreed before anyone sits down, is what makes a result acceptable to both sides.
The Case Studies
Couple at home resolving a false accusation with a lie detector test
Case Study · Relationship & Infidelity

Accused of Cheating and Telling the Truth

A late-night screenshot, a two-month argument, and an accused partner who volunteered for the test himself. How single-issue questions agreed by both partners - and a pre-commitment about what a pass would mean - ended it in ninety minutes.

The Nine Thousand Pound Question

Five months of losses, four keyholders, three of them innocent. How one employer used voluntary, identical single-issue tests lawfully - clearing three staff in two days and pointing the paperwork at the right person.

Case Study · Family Dispute

Two Siblings, One Accusation

What the Case Studies Have in Common

Different situations, same disciplines. Every case here used tightly-scoped single-issue questions rather than fishing expeditions - the question design guide explains why that is where accuracy is won. Every participant volunteered; nobody in any of these studies was compelled, which matters most in the workplace case, where UK law requires it. And in every case, what the result would mean was agreed before the test rather than argued about after it. If you are weighing a test of your own, start with how accurate is a polygraph test and the UK cost guide - then ring us and talk the situation through.
