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

  1. Interview someone who joined in the last three months about what was confusing.
  2. Map the first week hour by hour: accounts, introductions, training, first real task.
  3. Collect the documents that already exist and find the contradictions between them.
  4. Draft the handbook sections with Claude from the client's actual policies, never from generic templates.
  5. Have the client sign off every policy statement - employment terms are legally binding and cannot be AI-approximated.
  6. Build the systems-access checklist with the owner for each tool.
  7. Set up the Notion space so a new hire can self-serve rather than interrupt a colleague.
  8. Add a 30-60-90 day plan with what good looks like at each mark.
  9. Test it on the next real hire and fix what they stumble over.
  10. Price the build per role type, since engineering and sales onboarding differ.
  11. Offer an annual refresh as policies and tooling change.
