Your prompt

Write a customer discovery interview guide that stress-tests this hypothesis: [state the hypothesis] for [your company/product]. Design 10 questions that a skeptic would ask - questions that try to DISPROVE the hypothesis, not confirm it. Rules: no leading questions, no pitching, and every question must be answerable from the customer's past behavior, not predictions about the future. Add: the 3 answers that would kill the hypothesis outright, and how many interviews I need before I can trust the pattern. End with plain-language rephrasings of my 3 riskiest assumptions, in the style of questions you would ask your mom.

Paste it into Muse or any assistant. Blank fields stay as [brackets].
