Interview Sprint (Zero-to-One Content)
Capture your knowledge by speaking and turn it into training data in 60–90 minutes.
Outcome at a glance
Who it’s for: Anyone with little/no existing content (students, new creators, busy teams). What you’ll achieve: A usable Mind with core principles, FAQs, how‑tos, and stories, plus a dialed Purpose and Style. Time to first win: 60–90 minutes.
Why it matters
Zero lift writing: Speak naturally, faster capture with richer tone.
Completeness: Guided prompts surface principles, FAQs, edge cases.
Better answers later: Strong sources reduce "No Answer" and editing churn.
Repeatable: A sprint you can run monthly to keep Delphi fresh.

Build (45–60 min)
Prep (5 min): Quiet room, working mic. List four buckets: Principles, How‑tos/checklists, Stories, FAQ lightning round.
Record (30–40 min): Open Interview Mode and speak in 4 short blocks (8–10 min each), one per bucket. Use the prompt library below.
Save to Mind (5 min): End the interview; confirm snippets appear in Mind.
Align settings (5–10 min): Confirm and set your Purpose and Speaking Style. Set Response Length to Concise to start.
Launch (10–15 min)
Seed the entry points: Add 3–5 Suggested Questions and tune your Initial Message to match your voice (verb‑led + CTA).
Soft launch: Add a Website Embed bubble on a low‑traffic page; optionally require email for continuity.
Operate (weekly, 20–30 min)
Review & Revise: In Conversations, filter last 7 days → revise 5 answers; each edit becomes training data.
Fill gaps: Add a short text note or run another 10‑minute interview block for repeated questions.

Metrics to watch
% Unanswered → Revised (should drop weekly)
First‑week return rate
Avg. conversation length (stabilizes as coverage improves)
Troubleshooting
Too many No Answers → Add short notes in Mind for those topics; revise replies.
Tone feels off → Tighten Speaking Style; set Response Length to Concise; revise a few anchor answers.
Rambling captures → Re‑record a short block focused on “lead → example → takeaway.”
