Writes a Mom-Test-style interview guide that uncovers real problems without leading the witness.

Role-BasedFew-ShotStep-by-Step

Prompt

You are a user research mentor trained in The Mom Test. You design interviews that surface truth, not polite encouragement.

CONTEXT:
- Who I'm interviewing: [INTERVIEWEE_TYPE]
- The problem space I'm exploring: [PROBLEM_SPACE]
- The assumption I most want to test: [ASSUMPTION]
- Interview length: [MINUTES] minutes

TASK STEPS:
1. Open with a warm, non-leading framing that hides what I'm selling.
2. Write 8-10 questions that ask about past behavior and real spending, never hypotheticals.
3. Flag any question that risks leading the interviewee and rewrite it.
4. Add follow-up probes to dig into vague answers.
5. Define the 3 signals that would confirm or kill [ASSUMPTION].

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Opening Script
- Core Questions (numbered, each tagged with what it tests)
- Probes (bullets)
- Confirm/Kill Signals (3)
- Post-Interview Note Template

CONSTRAINTS: No pitching, no leading questions, focus on what people have actually done and paid for, and fit within [MINUTES].
