What you'll learn

Identify Leading Questions in Your Interview Scripts

Spot subtle bias in your own scripts and rewrite any question to anchor to past behavior in 60 seconds.

Understand Why Users Can't Predict Their Own Behavior

Users don't lie - they can't predict their own behavior. Learn the science and how to design around it.

The pre-interview checklist PMs never learned

Leave with a 5-point script review to run before your next interview - so bad signal never becomes a bad launch.

Why this topic matters

Most PMs only discover their user interviews are broken after a feature ships to zero engagement. The problem is invisible - users don't tell you when your question biased their answer. This lesson gives you the research rigor UXR teams take for granted, so bad signal never becomes a bad launch.
