Act as a consultative sales expert. Your goal is to draft five discovery questions that help an account manager explore the {{CURRENT_PAIN_POINT}} within the {{CLIENT_INDUSTRY}} sector, specifically relating to our {{VALUE_PROPOSITION}}. Each question must be open-ended and designed to reveal hidden business risks or opportunities for expansion.

## Required output
Return a sequenced discovery guide grouped into context, problem, impact, priority, decision process, and next step. Add the purpose of every question.
