If you can imagine each interview as a good way to learn about the people at the company, and also about the company's processes, then you can triage as you wish. As an example you could ask openly about the company's hiring processes, rankings, followups, and the like. If you receive answers that satisfy your preferences, that's great; otherwise, you can move on to prepare for the next company.
