Example in action

See how this prompt transforms a real input into a structured result.

Example input

Research objective: Understand why eligible students abandon streaming-plan registration. Target participants: Students who started registration but did not subscribe. Context: Registration includes email confirmation, document upload and student verification. Assumptions: - Uploading documents on mobile is difficult. - Students do not trust how documents are stored. - The discount is not valuable enough to complete verification.

Example output

Warm-Up: 1. Tell me about the streaming services you currently use. 2. How do you normally decide whether a subscription is worth paying for? Current Behavior: 3. Please walk me through the last time you considered a discounted subscription. 4. What happened from the moment you opened the registration page? Problem Exploration: 5. At which point did you decide not to continue? 6. What made that step difficult or unclear? 7. How did you feel about providing verification documents, if this was requested? Follow-Up Probes: - What did you expect to happen next? - Can you give a specific example? - What did you do instead? Bias Warning: Do not ask, “Would an easier upload make you finish registration?” Ask about the actual previous experience first.
