AI substitution interview questions
Nine questions for portfolio company customers
Nine reusable interview questions for finding out whether a portfolio company's customers would switch to an AI-native rival. They run from the work the product does today, through what customers have built or bought, to what holds them. Operating partners can paste them into any interview tool, or into Koji.
