Grill Me

Grill Me is a focused pre-implementation interrogation loop. Instead of brainstorming broadly, it forces the plan through one concrete question at a time when branches are dependent, or through a numbered batch when the open questions are independent, until the unknowns, dependencies, and tradeoffs are visible.

Unlike interview-me, which is for gathering missing intent and can switch into an async questionnaire, Grill Me is for pressure-testing a plan that already exists through decision-focused dialogue.

When to Use

• A plan sounds reasonable, but key assumptions have not been made explicit yet
• The user wants to stress-test a design, approach, rollout, or scope boundary before building
• You need to expose hidden dependencies and unresolved branches in the decision tree
• The next useful step is sharper questioning, not more implementation detail
