Why it works
Growing companies hire before they have any onboarding process, so each new starter costs a manager days of repeated explanation - and the material is written once but reused every hire.
How it makes money
Project + retainer
How to start
- Interview someone who joined in the last three months about what was confusing.
- Map the first week hour by hour: accounts, introductions, training, first real task.
- Collect the documents that already exist and find the contradictions between them.
- Draft the handbook sections with Claude from the client's actual policies, never from generic templates.
- Have the client sign off every policy statement - employment terms are legally binding and cannot be AI-approximated.
- Build the systems-access checklist with the owner for each tool.
- Set up the Notion space so a new hire can self-serve rather than interrupt a colleague.
- Add a 30-60-90 day plan with what good looks like at each mark.
- Test it on the next real hire and fix what they stumble over.
- Price the build per role type, since engineering and sales onboarding differ.
- Offer an annual refresh as policies and tooling change.
