Interview synthesis prompt

🛠️ Interview synthesis prompt

Takes the quotations from the pages written after 📌 Run eight carrier-data interviews, names removed and each tagged with an interview number, and sorts them into piles of things that sound alike.
It may not name a pile. Piles come back as Group A, Group B. The naming stays mine, because a name is a claim and I want to be the one making it.
It works on the format of 🧭 Interview snapshot: one page per conversation, quotations marked as quotations.
First run on 25 September with five interviews done, again on 2 October with all eight.

What it fed

The piles became the opportunity tree for 📂 Carrier Scorecards discovery. The branch about fairness has my name for it, not the model's.

Pros

Eight interviews are about ninety quotations. Sorting them by hand is an afternoon; checking a sort is forty minutes.
With no labels to react to, I read each pile and ask what it is. Twice the answer was two things.
It tells me which interview each quotation came from, so a pile of seven from one talkative person is visible as that.

Cons

It groups by vocabulary. Two people saying unfair about opposite things land together.
It has no idea who was being polite.
A sorted pile looks like a finding. It is a pile.

Paper slips on the office floor with Zainab Karimi, which we also did, and which is where the disagreements came out.
Reading the eight pages twice and trusting memory. Memory keeps the best talker.
