MONTREAL, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A Certified Legal Investigator and recently re-elected International Regional Director for the National Association of Legal Investigators (NALI), Mr. Roman Bazikalov, the president of MADPI GLOBAL, a Montreal based private investigation boutique firm, is bringing Lie Detection to all the discerning clients who know the value of truth.

The Ocular Motor Deception Test, an AI-Powered Lie Detection Technology, has been in use since 2009, and has been adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense, FBI, CIA, more than two dozen governments, hundreds of law-enforcement agencies, and thousands of professionals around the world, all relying on its precision and accuracy.

Unlike polygraph, which relies on stress-induced physiological responses, ODT focuses on cognitive load indicators visible through the eyes, a method that is both less invasive, faster, and is also more precise in detecting truthfulness and deception. The ODT boasts an accuracy rate of over 89%. However, combined with a polygraph, the result can yield a 98 to 99% confidence level, making ODT a superb tool that can significantly improve the narrative of any interview, legal case, corporate compliance and HR assessment.

Mr. Roman Bazikalov is the first professional private investigator in Canada certified to administer this technology. By embracing the cutting-edge tools and methods, he is committed to advancing investigative accuracy, professionalism, and the responsible use of emerging science.

Mr. Bazikalov highlights the precision and wide-ranging applications of ODT in legal and corporate investigations. "What can be more precise than capturing 5000+ images measuring involuntary eye movements, pupil dilation, fixation, reaction times, and response behaviors, while the interviewee answers a series of True/False statements?" he asks. "The data is processed through a patented algorithm that produces a credibility score indicating truthfulness or deception. ODT can be used in various plaintiff and criminal defense cases, to assess the credibility of witnesses or suspects in investigations; in corporate screenings and to monitor employee compliance; and even in personal matters like spousal fidelity."

"Bringing ODT to Canada will allow legal professionals, government agencies, private investigators, corporate HR and top management to conduct truth verification interviews with a much higher rate of success and detect lies and inaccuracies with ease", said Mr. Bazikalov who started his professional career in 2002. He holds a bachelor's degree in criminology and psychology, and is a Certified Legal Investigator (CLI), Certified International Investigator (CII), and Certified Master Investigator (CPIO-MI).

Mr. Bazikalov is an active member in several prestigious national and international professional associations and serves on the Board of Directors for the Council of International Investigators (CII).

As the International Reginal Director for NALI, Mr. Bazikalov brings a wealth of professional experience to his role and is set to lead NALI on the international stage in the coming year.

NALI was founded in 1967 and until this day, is the benchmark for investigative professionalism and ethics.
