DISCOVERY INTERVIEW PLANNER

Customer Interview Guide

Create a focused, non-leading discovery interview guide from one product hypothesis, a specific audience, and the evidence you need to collect.

  • Uses your inputs in a transparent calculation
  • Instant result with practical next steps
  • No signup required

Planning guidance only. Validate important decisions with customer evidence and your delivery team.

How it works

1

Set one evidence goal

Choose the specific belief the interview must explore instead of asking broad product questions.

2

Calculate the question budget

Available time determines a practical number of core prompts while leaving room for follow-ups.

3

Use behavioural questions

The guide starts with recent events, current workarounds, consequences, and decision context.

Frequently asked questions

Why avoid asking whether someone likes the idea?

Praise and predictions are weak evidence. Recent behaviour, costs, trade-offs, and commitments are more useful.

How many interviews are enough?

There is no universal number. Look for repeated patterns across relevant participants and continue when important variation remains.

Can this replace a researcher?

No. It creates a practical guide; experienced researchers add recruitment design, facilitation, analysis, and ethics expertise.
