Expert Interview Prep

Questions that get signal, not rehearsed answers.

The Prompt

I'm interviewing an expert in [field] about [goal].
Give me 10 questions that:
- Can't be answered with their standard talking points
- Probe decisions and tradeoffs, not facts I could Google
- Include 2 deliberately contrarian questions
Order them so the conversation builds trust before the hard ones.

 Fill in before using

[field][goal]

How to use it

→ Paste the prompt into your model of choice — it works with any frontier model.
→ Replace every bracketed placeholder with your specifics. Concrete inputs beat vague ones every time.
→ If the model asks a clarifying question, answer it — these prompts are designed to invite that.
→ Iterate on the output, not the prompt. The structure is already tuned.
