Yep, our main campaign city has a ZoT protocol requiring involvement of at least 2 of 3: the main church, the crown and the wizard organization.
ZoT by itself won't convict or exonerate, just evidence.
There's an tri-inquisitor (counts as 1 member of any of the 3) that oversees the whole thing. Giving cute and otherwise unsatisfactory answers means more time in the cells waiting for the next ZoT.
(One of the PCs got himself arrested for murder. Was innocent, gave convoluted too-clever-by-half answers, languished briefly in jail before the baron pulled strings to discreetly release him. Was told "Hurry up with the damn mission, man!")
