Quick answer
A moderator-side interview worksheet: reference code, date and setting, moderator name, respondent context, the topic guide, planned probes, the probes actually asked, observations and follow-up notes — one record per interview.
Interviews drift when every moderator writes their own notes. This worksheet keeps one structured record per interview across twelve fields: reference code, date and setting, moderator name, respondent context, the topic guide used, planned probe questions, the probes actually asked, observations, follow-up notes and quotes worth carrying forward. Across a study the records line up, so patterns come from the same prompts rather than from memory.
