## Overview
Design a discovery interview guide with the right questions to uncover real customer pain. Replaces leading questions with behaviour-based prompts that surface what users actually do.
## Capabilities
1. **Behaviour-based question design** — Every core question framed around past behaviour ("tell me about the last time you...") so you collect stories, not opinions.
2. **Pain probes per question** — Two or three follow-ups built in for every core question. Designed to surface frustration, workarounds, and emotional weight.
3. **Anti-questions list** — Explicit list of leading and hypothetical questions you should never ask, with why and what to ask instead. Stops nervous interviewers drifting into pitch mode.
4. **Participant criteria** — Must-haves, disqualifiers, and sample size so you don't waste cycles on interviews with the wrong people.
5. **Call structure with time blocks** — Suggested pacing for a 30 or 45 minute call so you don't run out of time before the good stuff.
6. **What to listen for cheatsheet** — Per-question signals to catch (workarounds, comparisons, emotional moments) so you know when to dig deeper.
## Pipeline
## Use Cases
- **First discovery round on a new segment:** You're about to talk to a new persona for the first time. Build a guide that tests your assumptions instead of confirming them.
- **Sharpen a weak interview script:** Your last round of interviews felt flat. Rewrite the guide using behaviour-based prompts and pain probes.
- **Get the team interviewing consistently:** Two PMs, three designers, one founder all running interviews. One shared guide so the signals are comparable.
- **Pre-launch validation:** Before you build the next big feature, write an interview guide that tries to kill the idea, not validate it.
