🔍 Discovery

Good discovery is about the second and third question, not the first. The rep here keeps asking "why" until the real business problem appears.

## Script (2 speakers)

Rep: You mentioned you're looking at new scheduling software. What's prompting that now? Priya: Our current tool is clunky. Rep: Clunky how? Where does it slow you down the most? Priya: Rescheduling. When a patient cancels, filling the slot takes forever. Rep: What happens to those slots today? Priya: Most of them stay empty. <sigh> Probably twenty a week. Rep: And what's an empty slot worth to the clinic? Priya: About ninety dollars each. Rep: So roughly eighteen hundred dollars a week walking out the door. Priya: When you say it like that... that's the real problem, isn't it. Rep: It sounds like it. Should we look at how the waitlist feature fills those slots automatically?
