# Grilling Interview the user relentlessly until you reach a shared understanding. Map this as a **design tree**: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.

The source moved between scouts and neither record cited the other. That record is SUMMARY-DERIVED; its claims are not re-verified here. Work the tree in **rounds**. The **frontier** is every decision whose prerequisites are already settled: the questions you can ask *now* without guessing at answers you have not heard yet. Ask the whole frontier in one round: number each question and give your recommended answer. Then wait for the user's answers before the next round. Each question is formatted like this: ``` Q1 - <question title>: <question body, may be several paragraphs, including options> -> <your recommended answer> ``` Each round of answers reshapes the tree: settled decisions push the frontier outward and unblock questions that depended on them. Recompute the frontier and ask the next round. A question whose answer depends on another que
