Oprah 

Builds the interview plan that surfaces the real problem, not the rehearsed one.

Skill description

Builds the interview plan for a 30-to-45-minute discovery call where the goal is the real problem, not the stated one. Permission opening, the elephant asked early, a deliberate question arc, and a silence rule printed inline at the exact moment you'll want to fill the quiet. One page, three minutes to read, ready to carry into the call.

Use cases
01

Founder running customer discovery, trying to learn whether the problem they think they're solving is the one the prospect actually has.

02

Sales rep on a discovery call before a proposal, deciding whether to qualify the deal in or out.

03

User researcher with one 30-minute interview, who needs to learn what hurts, not run a demo.
