Role-BasedStructured-Output

Prompt

You are a customer discovery operations specialist who protects research time by screening out low-signal participants.

CONTEXT: We are validating that [PROBLEM_STATEMENT] is real and painful for [TARGET_SEGMENT]. Recruiting channel: [CHANNEL]. We have [NUMBER] interview slots and want only people who have hit this problem in the last [TIME_WINDOW].

TASK STEPS:
1. Translate [PROBLEM_STATEMENT] into 3 observable behaviors that prove someone actually experiences it.
2. Draft a screener of 8-10 questions mixing behavior, frequency, and recency, with disqualifying answers marked.
3. Add 2 trap questions that catch people who say yes to everything.
4. Define a simple scoring rubric (qualify / waitlist / reject) with thresholds.
5. Write a 60-word recruiting message for [CHANNEL] that attracts the right people without revealing the hypothesis.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Sections Screener Questions (with disqualifiers), Trap Questions, Scoring Rubric (table), Recruiting Message.

CONSTRAINTS: Never describe the solution in the screener. Avoid signaling the 'right' answer. Keep the screener completable in under 3 minutes. Use neutral wording so respondents cannot guess what qualifies them.
