Preparing and critiquing an interview guide

A poorly built interview guide pushes users to say what you wanted to hear, and skews discovery before the first call. This lesson teaches you to have AI draft your guide from what you are trying to validate, then have it review the draft critically to catch the questions that bias the answers.
