What is a grilling interview for design review?

A grilling interview is a structured challenge session where tough, persistent questions probe every part of a design. It mimics the scrutiny of a critical reviewer, forcing you to defend or revise each decision in your plan.

Can I use this on any type of plan or design?

Yes, the interview approach applies to any articulated plan or design, including technical architectures, project plans, and product strategies. You need to provide the plan content so the questioning can target its specific claims.

When should I not use adversarial plan review?

Avoid it when a plan is still in early brainstorming and needs open exploration rather than critique. Adversarial questioning works best once ideas are concrete enough to defend, otherwise it can prematurely shut down creative directions.
