# Problem Interview Guide

## When to use
- Use when the task clearly matches this PM activity.
- Use when a structured answer is more useful than a generic brainstorm.
- Use when the user needs explicit trade-offs, implications, or next steps.

## Instructions
1. Clarify the goal, user, or decision context.
2. Use the skill-specific lens below to structure the work.
3. Make assumptions explicit instead of hiding them.
4. End with a practical recommendation or next step.

### Skill-specific lens
1. Start from recent behavior and real context.
2. Probe pains, workarounds, and costs.
3. Avoid pitching or validating your solution too early.
4. Capture evidence quality and strong quotes.

## Output
- Interview flow
- Core questions
- Probe questions
- Signals to watch
- Evidence criteria
