Guide: Discovery Interview Script
This prompt was written for people working in product who need a reliable starting point instead of starting from scratch. It defines role, goal, expected input, steps, and output format, which reduces generic responses and makes it clear what the model assumed. Adjust the constraints of your reality (stack, deadline, internal policy) before using it in production.
