Design A Semi-Structured Interview Guide

Turns a research question, study topic, and participant description into a ready-to-use interview guide before fieldwork starts. - Generates 8-12 open-ended questions ordered from general to specific - Builds in at least two probing follow-ups for topics that tend to get surface-level answers - Avoids yes/no phrasing and leading wording - Best piloted with one participant before the full study
