1. State what I need to learn
2. Draft ten open questions in a sensible order
3. Add follow-up probes for vague answers
4. Suggest how to take notes and what to do next
Use my details, not a generic example. If a fact needed for the plan is missing, ask for it or mark the assumption. Keep the result ready to use.
