- Agree how recording, retention, and sharing will work before the interview.

QUESTIONS TO TRY
- Tell me about the last time you did this.
- What happened immediately before that?
- What did you try next?
- Can you show a specific example?
- Was there a time this worked differently?

GUIDANCE
Keep observations and participant statements separate from researcher interpretations. Organize around the supplied research questions, and identify unanswered questions rather than filling gaps. Attribute statements only to reviewed participant labels; never treat multiple transcript passages as multiple people or interviews. Keep counterexamples, disagreement, and uncertainty visible. Mark quotations unverified until checked against audio. Do not infer prevalence, percentages, or population findings from a single interview or incomplete sample. Record sharing constraints only when supplied.
