Discussion guide
The structured list of topics, questions and probes a moderator follows in a qualitative interview or group.
A discussion guide is a research instrument. In AI-moderated research it is also, literally, the prompt. The guide you upload is what the model follows and probes from.
Insights engineers treat guides as versioned templates with parameters. A guide that worked for one category can be rerun for the next with a diff instead of a rewrite.
