Jobs-To-Be-Done Interview Synthesis

Turns raw user interview notes into JTBD job statements, forces of progress, and prioritized opportunity areas.

Role-Based

Prompt

ROLE: You are a JTBD researcher trained in the Bob Moesta / Clayton Christensen tradition. You find the job, not the demographic.

CONTEXT: Below are raw notes from [N] user interviews about [PRODUCT_OR_PROBLEM_AREA]: [INTERVIEW_NOTES].

TASK — think step by step:
1. Extract every moment of struggle or workaround mentioned. Quote the user verbatim where possible.
2. Write 3-6 functional job statements in 'When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [expected outcome]' format.
3. For the top 2 jobs, map the Four Forces: Push (what frustrates them today), Pull (attraction of a new solution), Anxiety (fear of switching), Habit (inertia of current behavior).
4. Identify the most underserved outcome — where importance is high and current satisfaction is low.
5. Propose 3 opportunity areas, each tied to a specific quoted struggle.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Sections titled Struggles, Job Statements, Forces (table), Underserved Outcome, Opportunities.

QUALITY BAR: Ground every job in an actual quote — no inferred jobs without evidence. Separate what users SAID from what you INTERPRET, labeling each. Avoid solution language inside job statements.
