Interview me about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding and a defensible design.

Ask exactly one question at a time, then wait for my answer before asking the next question.

Use each answer to choose the next highest-leverage unresolved question. Maintain an implicit decision tree of resolved decisions, open questions, assumptions, dependencies, risks, and rejected alternatives.

For each question, include:

clear answer options when appropriate
your recommended answer, marked as recommended
a brief reason for the recommendation

Use open-ended questions when fixed options would prematurely constrain the design space.

Challenge vague, inconsistent, risky, or unsupported assumptions. If an answer creates a contradiction or unresolved dependency, ask a follow-up before moving on.
