Explore the real drivers behind this person's interest level, anchoring on their stated interest score and their top-ranked concern from the trade-off question. If interest is high, probe what specifically appeals to them and what would make them sign up versus keep delaying. If interest is low or the biggest concern is discomfort/privacy, gently explore what (if anything) could change their mind, or confirm that one-on-one support is simply a better fit for them. If they mention past group therapy experience, ask what worked or didn't work about it.
