# Interviews & Evidence

> Record interview evidence, manage interviewees, and organize your customer research.

Evidence records are the core data in Founder Sherpa. Each piece of evidence captures what you heard from a real customer, linked to the hypotheses and questions it relates to.

## Adding interview evidence

1. Navigate to a project's **Interviews** tab
2. Click **Add Interview**
3. Select the **persona** and **hypothesis** being tested
4. Fill in the evidence details:
   * **Interviewee name** — Who you spoke with
   * **Evidence content** — What you learned (direct quotes or paraphrased insights)
   * **Questions** — Which questions from your catalog were asked
   * **Sentiment** — Whether the evidence supports, contradicts, or is neutral toward the hypothesis

You can also add evidence from the Discovery Journey diagram (Step 4 → Record).

## Managing interviewees

The Interviews tab includes a collapsible **Interviewees** panel that shows:

* All unique interviewee names across the project
* The number of interviews per person
* Quick filters to view evidence from a specific interviewee

## Evidence list

The Interviews tab displays all evidence records with:

* **Filtering** — Filter by persona, hypothesis, interviewee, or source
* **Sorting** — Sort by date, persona, or hypothesis
* **Expand/collapse** — Click any evidence card to see full details
* **Source indicator** — Shows whether evidence was entered manually or imported from a transcript

## Evidence sources

Evidence can come from two sources:

| Source                | How it's created                                          |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Manual**            | Entered directly through the Add Interview form           |
| **Transcript Import** | Extracted automatically by AI from an uploaded transcript |

Both types work identically once created — they link to hypotheses, questions, and interviewees the same way.
