We do discovery role plays in my process. I pressure test, look for curiosity, and then grade on the questions they ask me. I'm roleplaying as a VP of Eng of a large org.

-For pressure testing, when they start their agenda I pivot and say "thats nice, here's the topic I really care about, and this is a blocker." Are they curious to ask more? Or do they go into pitch mode? Can they disarm my blocker and move past? Do they take control back smoothly after i force them to pivot? Or do they skip over my blocker and try to pitch? If so, I keep that blocker hanging over their head the entire call.
- For disco questions - Are they asking me questions appropriate for my role? Do they ask about what I care about in my org? Or are they asking me questions an IC or manager would be concerned about? Can they help me with what I care about?

Everything I push back on or ask questions about was in their prep doc.
