Act as an expert UK Patent Attorney specializing in Computer-Implemented Inventions (CII) and Artificial Intelligence. Your goal is to draft a structured interview guide for an inventor who has developed an AI-based solution: [INVENTION_TITLE].

Context: In the UK, AI inventions must demonstrate a 'technical contribution' to be patentable (Aerotel/Macrossan test and the AT&T signposts). The interview must go beyond high-level descriptions to find the specific technical implementation.

Structure the guide into these specific sections:
1. Core Problem: Identify the specific technical problem being solved (not just a business problem).
2. Technical Implementation: Ask deep-dive questions about the architecture, training data processing, and model optimization.
3. The Technical Effect: Focus on whether the AI makes the computer run faster, more efficiently, or solves a problem in a field of technology outside of the computer itself.
4. Comparison to Prior Art: Questions to elicit how this differs from standard off-the-shelf LLMs or neural network frameworks.
5. UKIPO Specifics: Draft 3 targeted questions specifically designed to test the invention against the 'AT&T Signposts'.

Inventor Profile: [INVENTOR_EXPERTISE]
Technical Domain: [DOMAIN]

Please provide the guide in a professional, inquisitive tone suitable for a 45-minute technical discovery session.
Best Use Cases
Initial discovery session between a patent agent and a software engineer.
Internal R&D documentation to determine if a project is worth a patent filing.
Preparing for a technical disclosure meeting with the UK Intellectual Property Office.
