The prompt
Act as a rigorous qualitative researcher. I will paste notes from customer interviews. My original hypothesis: [state it] Notes: [paste notes from 5 or more interviews, labeled by interviewee role] Tasks: 1. Identify recurring problems, workarounds and triggers, with how many interviewees mentioned each. 2. Separate what people did (behavior) from what they said they would do (opinion). Weight behavior more. 3. Use short phrases from the notes as evidence, and attribute each to the interview it came from. 4. Highlight surprises and contradictions with my original hypothesis. 5. Tell me what the notes do not support, even if I hoped they would. Output: a table (theme | frequency | behavior evidence | strength of signal), then 3 implications for what I build or test next.
