interview-script

A guide for creating customer interview scripts based on the Mom Test, a method that focuses on people’s past actions rather than guesses or compliments. It is written for a product manager or project lead to give to someone conducting interviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define interview goals, ask about recent customer behaviour, explore current solutions and switching conditions, and score evidence from interviews.
Why use it?
It reduces leading questions and vague opinions, making interviews more useful for checking whether a problem is real. It also provides a consistent structure and scoring criteria for reviewing answers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

interview-script scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Interview Script Author Skill

PM 또는 chief 가 호출. 사용자(founder)가 직접 실제 고객과 인터뷰 진행할 때 사용할 script 생성. PM 이 직접 인터뷰하지 않는다.

Mom Test 원칙 (Rob Fitzpatrick)

  1. 사람들의 의견 묻지 마라. 그들의 삶을 물어라.
  2. 미래 가설 묻지 마라. 과거 행동을 물어라.
  3. 칭찬 받지 마라. 사실을 받아라.

→ "X 기능 좋아하실까요?" ❌ → "마지막으로 [pain] 을 겪었을 때 어떻게 해결하셨나요?" ✅

- (전환 안 한다면) 어떤 조건이면 전환하시겠어요?

### Wrap-up (3분)
- 우리가 안 물어본 질문 중 이 주제에 중요한 게 있나요?
- 비슷한 고민하시는 분 소개 가능하실까요?

## Scoring Rubric

각 응답을 다음 기준으로 채점:
- Demand evidence: 0-3 (0=interest, 3=actual demand with payment/workaround)
- Specificity: 0-3 (0=vague, 3=specific instance with date+context)
- Switching cost signal: 0-3

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
