# `AttractorEx.Interviewers.Payload`
[🔗](https://github.com/Alezrik/attractor-phoenix/blob/main/lib/attractor_ex/interviewer_payload.ex#L1)

Shared question and answer normalization for interviewer adapters.

This module keeps console, queue, callback, recording, and HTTP interviewers on the
same wire format so `wait.human` behavior stays consistent across transports.
