Turn a stack of stakeholder interviews into themes and tensions
The blind spots section often shows the thing nobody in the room is willing to say out loud.

Claude and ChatGPT open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
You're helping me synthesize discovery interviews for a client project. Project goal: [PROJECT GOAL, e.g. reduce staff turnover]. Roles interviewed: [ROLES INTERVIEWED]. Notes, labeled by role with names removed: [INTERVIEW NOTES]. Give me: 1. The top five themes that come up across several interviews, with how many roles raised each and a short quote for each. 2. Tensions or contradictions between roles, side by side. 3. The pain points mentioned most often. 4. Things people stated with strong certainty. 5. Blind spots: what nobody mentioned that you'd expect in a project like this. 6. Three hypotheses for me to test next, and what evidence would prove each one wrong. Only use what's in the notes. Mark anything speculative, and don't count something only one person raised as a pattern.
Paste your interview notes labeled by role, with names removed. You get the top themes, where people disagree, blind spots and three hypotheses to test, each tied to quotes.
Step by step
- Label each set of notes by role, not by name.
- Paste the project goal and all the notes with the prompt.
- Ask it to show the quotes behind any theme you doubt.
- Turn the hypotheses into your next round of analysis.
What you'll get
A synthesis memo with themes and counts, tensions between roles, pain points, strong convictions, blind spots and three testable hypotheses.
