SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Preparing effective customer interviews is hard: teams often ask leading questions, pitch their product, or collect vague opinions instead of real behavioral evidence. This Skill generates a structured interview script grounded in The Mom Test principles and Jobs-to-be-Done framing, so discovery conversations surface genuine pain points and past behavior rather than compliments. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Interview Structure: Generates opening, warm-up, core JTBD exploration, probing techniques, and wrap-up sections with suggested timing for each phase. - Mom Test Guardrails: Embeds rules against leading questions, pitching, and hypothetical future-tense questions, keeping the focus on past behavior and specific examples. - Note-Taking Template: Produces a structured capture template covering key jobs, current solutions, biggest pain, desired outcomes, willingness to pay, and follow-ups. - Use Case: A product manager preparing for five discovery calls about a new onboarding feature asks for a 30-minute interview script tailored to their persona and research objectives, and receives a ready-to-use guide plus a note-taking template. ## Quick Start Create a 30-minute customer interview script for researching how small business owners currently manage their invoicing workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about interview-script

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a customer interview script for user research?▼

Define your research objectives and the decisions the interview will inform, then structure the script into opening, warm-up, core JTBD exploration, and wrap-up sections. Focus questions on past behavior and specific examples rather than hypothetical future usage.

What is The Mom Test in customer interviews?▼

The Mom Test is a set of rules for asking questions that even your mother cannot lie to you about. It means asking about past behavior and their life instead of your idea, never pitching during the interview, and treating compliments as noise rather than validation.

What questions should I ask in a JTBD customer interview?▼

Ask about the last time they did the activity, what tools they used, what the hardest part was, and what they have tried to solve it. Probe willingness to pay by asking how much time or money they currently spend and what they would give up to solve the problem.

How long should a customer discovery interview be?▼

A typical structure allocates 2-3 minutes for opening, 5 minutes for warm-up and context, 15-20 minutes for core exploration of jobs and pain points, and 3-5 minutes for wrap-up, totaling roughly 30 minutes.

When should I not use a scripted interview approach?▼

Avoid rigid scripts when you need exploratory ethnographic observation or when participants raise unexpected high-value threads. Use the probing techniques like "tell me more" and "can you give me a specific example" to follow interesting stories beyond the script.
