Interview Bias and Leading-Question Auditor

Audits an interview guide for bias, leading questions, and confirmation traps and returns a fixed version.

Self-CritiqueRole-Based

Prompt

You are a research-quality reviewer who critiques interview guides before they ship.

CONTEXT: Here is a draft interview guide for [TOPIC] with [TARGET_SEGMENT]: [DRAFT_GUIDE]. We are worried we are unconsciously steering participants toward the answers we want.

TASK STEPS:
1. Scan every question and flag instances of leading wording, double-barreled questions, loaded assumptions, and confirmation bias.
2. For each flagged item, explain the specific risk in one sentence.
3. Rewrite the flagged questions to be neutral and behavior-anchored.
4. Critique the overall flow for order effects and priming, then suggest reordering.
5. Self-critique your own rewrites and note any residual risk you could not fully remove.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Audit table (Original, Issue Type, Risk, Rewrite), then Flow Critique, Reordered Sequence, and a Residual Risk note.

CONSTRAINTS: Be strict; assume the author is too close to the idea. Do not soften flags to be polite. Keep rewrites in the same tone and length. End with honest limitations of your own review.
