Classify each question by type
Every question is tagged as context, behaviour, pain, alternatives, or willingness-to-pay — the five stages a research conversation should typically move through, from easiest to answer to most sensitive.

How it works
Reorder from concrete to sensitive
Questions are resequenced so context and behaviour come first to build rapport and shared understanding, pain and alternatives come next, and willingness-to-pay questions come last once trust is established.
Flag risky early placements
Any willingness-to-pay or highly sensitive pain question placed in the first third of your original order is flagged, since asking about money or failure too early tends to produce guarded, less honest answers.
Frequently asked questions
Why does question order matter in an interview?
Early questions set the tone. Starting with easy, concrete questions about behaviour builds rapport and gets people talking in detail before you ask anything sensitive like willingness to pay.
What if I only have willingness-to-pay questions?
The sequencer will still order what you give it, but consider adding at least one context or behaviour question first — even a single warm-up question improves the quality of later answers.
Can I use this for a written survey too?
Yes — survey respondents drop off less and answer more honestly when questions follow the same context-to-sensitive progression as a spoken interview.
How many questions should one session have?
For a 30-minute interview, 6-10 well-sequenced questions with room for follow-ups is typical — more than that risks rushing through important detail.
