Three things it does

  1. 01

    A link, not a booking

    Scheduling stops being the ceiling on how many people you can reach.

  2. 02

    Configurable per segment

    Length, follow-up depth and script all set before it goes out.

  3. 03

    Collected ready for analysis

    Everything that comes back feeds the final step directly.

What it lets you do

  • Turn five conversations into dozens
  • Hear from people who have no reason to be kind to you
  • Run interviews while you are working on something else

Five interviews with friendly contacts is not a sample. Removing the scheduling problem is the cheapest way to make the number big enough to mean something.

Where it sits

Each tool uses what the last one established. See all 13 tools in order.

Common questions

How many customer interviews do I need?

More than the five friendly contacts most founders manage. There is no universal number, but patterns only become trustworthy once you are hearing the same thing from people who have no reason to be kind to you — which usually means dozens rather than a handful.

Do I have to be present for the interview?

No. That is the point of the shared link — the interview runs without you in the room, so scheduling stops being the constraint on how many people you can reach.

What happens to the responses?

They feed straight into the AI Interview Analysis, the final tool in the sequence, which reads them together and reports on whether the business model held up.
