To conduct a research interview for domain knowledge capture, use a structured workflow that elicits stakeholder input and applies epistemic tracking. This generates traceable problem definitions and requirements sets with explicit confidence levels.

Epistemic tracking in requirements gathering is the process of recording explicit confidence levels for elicited findings. It ensures stakeholder knowledge capture includes traceable gaps, producing a reliable knowledge corpus for downstream analysis.

The best way to structure outputs from stakeholder knowledge elicitation is to generate standardized formats like PROBLEM-STATEMENT, REQUIREMENTS, or KNOWLEDGE-CORPUS. These structured outputs include explicit confidence levels and traceable gaps for clear problem definition.

Yes, you can use this structured interview framework for requirements gathering without prior coding. It requires no dependencies, allowing you to immediately initiate a research interview to elicit domain knowledge and produce structured outputs.

A limitation of using epistemic tracking for problem definition is that it relies entirely on the accuracy of elicited stakeholder input. The framework highlights traceable gaps and confidence levels, but cannot validate the underlying domain knowledge independently.
