What it does

Generates a tailored set of calibrated, non-leading questions for 1:1 listening interviews given the principal's situation, the interviewee's role, and what you need to surface (how they see the situation, what they care about, frustrations, perceptions of each other). Used before each interview round to prepare questions that elicit candid signal without telegraphing the advisor's agenda.

Trigger: Use before each listening interview round to prepare questions that elicit candid signal without telegraphing your agenda.
