User Interview Script Template

CleverX Free Beginner

A ready-to-use set of interview scripts (discovery, validation, and jobs-to-be-done) with probing questions built in, so you are not writing your guide from scratch. Having a consistent script across conversations is what lets you compare answers and spot when patterns repeat. Copy it, adapt the questions to your problem, and run.

  • A consistent script makes answers comparable across interviews
  • Built-in probing questions help you dig past surface-level replies
  • Adapt the discovery script to your specific problem before your first call
