Rules
Rule: Define the Interview Goal First
Description: State why this conversation matters for the reader. Negative example: Posting raw transcript with no framing. Positive example: "This interview focuses on how to improve title clarity under tight deadlines."
Rule: Sequence Questions Intentionally
Description: Move from context to specifics to implications. Negative example: Random question order with repeated topics. Positive example: Background question, process question, lessons question, advice question.
Rule: Ask for Specific Examples
Description: Prompt concrete stories, not generic principles. Negative example: "Any tips?" Positive example: "What exact change improved outcomes in your last release?"
Rule: Edit for Clarity Without Distorting Meaning
Description: Clean verbal noise while preserving intent and accuracy. Negative example: Heavy rewriting that changes what the speaker meant. Positive example: Lightly edited answers with original meaning intact.
Rule: Highlight Transferable Lessons
Description: Extract practical guidance from each major response. Negative example: Leaving strong insights buried inside long paragraphs. Positive example: Brief takeaway lines after key responses.
Rule: Close With One Practical Summary
Description: End with the single most useful reader action. Negative example: Ending abruptly after the final answer. Positive example: "Try the guest's opener checklist on your next draft this week."
