Synthesize three interview notes into themes with one quote each

Interview notes pile up. Insights don't. Synthesis is the job: themes, one quote each, implications.

This hack: twenty minutes, three interviews, theme brief. Not a 40-page research shrine.

When to use it

• You have notes from at least three customer interviews.
• A product, marketing, or leadership decision needs the themes.
• You can spare twenty minutes while notes are fresh.

When not to

• You only have one interview. Don't pretend it's a pattern.
• Notes are too thin. Book follow-ups first.
• You're tempted to force a theme leadership wants. Don't.

Do this (timer on)

1. 1. Paste three interview notes (redacted).
2. 2. Cluster themes with quotes.
3. 3. Add implications + open questions.
4. 4. Share the one-pager with stakeholders.

Prompt (copy)

Synthesize these three interviews.

Output:
- 3-5 themes
- For each: one verbatim-ish quote, what it means, implication
- Contradictions
- Open questions
Do not invent quotes. Do not over-generalize to "all customers."
