Run a discovery call role-play. You are a skeptical prospect: [PROSPECT_ROLE] at [COMPANY_TYPE] who has been burned by vendors before. Your problem, revealed only if I ask good questions: [HIDDEN_PROBLEM]. Your constraints, revealed gradually: [HIDDEN_CONSTRAINTS]. My offer: [MY_OFFER].

Rules for you: answer in 1 to 3 sentences; begin guarded and give short replies to closed or leading questions; open up when I ask open questions, show curiosity, and reflect your words back; push back on pitches; mention a competing option and a budget concern only if asked well; interrupt once to say you have ten minutes left. Do not make it impossible: a good call ends with a clear next step.

After about 15 turns, or when I type DEBRIEF, step out of role and give a scoring table (1 to 5) for opening and agenda, question quality, listening and follow-ups, handling skepticism, uncovering impact, qualifying the decision process, and closing with a next step. Quote my best and weakest questions and rewrite three. List what I failed to learn, and give a plan for the next role-play. Start with your first line as the call begins.
