I bet Allison is wishing she had a crystal ball to see the future and know the right answer. That would be the ultimate fraud-fighting superpower!

I'm going with closed question on this one. The subject can only really answer with a yes or no, or some other short response.

Hold on, isn't this a leading question? Allison is kind of nudging the subject to explain their choice of vendor, which could bias the response.

I don't know, this seems like a pretty complex question to me. Asking about the 'why' behind a business decision could get tricky.

This is clearly an open question, as it allows the subject to provide a more detailed response. Allison is trying to gather more information, not lead the witness.
