Opinions are cheap and predictions are worthless. Behavior is the only reliable signal, and getting at it takes questions anchored in a real, recent moment. These prompts write that interview — the opener that relaxes someone, the probes that stay in the past tense, and the synthesis pass that turns eight conversations into three findings.
What's Included
- Rapport opener that gets you past performance answers.
- Behavior probes anchored to the last time it happened.
- Non-leading phrasing checked before you walk into the room.
- Synthesis frames so eight transcripts become a decision.
How To Use
- Write the research goal in one sentence first.
- Generate five questions and cut any that invite a prediction.
- Record answers on one record per participant.
- Run the synthesis pass once, after the last interview.
Go deeper with primary research interviews, quantify what you heard with survey design prompts, and write it up with the research summary report.
