A new person starts Monday. Here's their first month.
New hire or new client — describe who's starting and what they need to succeed. Get a day-1 / week-1 / month-1 onboarding checklist, every item with an owner and a plain "done when…" line, so nothing lands in the crack between you and your partner.
🔒 What this touches: your description plus your saved Roles & Org Map and Company Memory are sent once to an AI model to draft the checklist. The draft shows here; nothing is uploaded or stored on a server — no account, no database. It's a plan you review and run yourself.
The setup
The onboarding checklist
Day-1 kickoff message
✓ Built from your Company Memory — the Roles & Org Map and business facts you set up once. Owners come from your real team; check every date and name before you hand it over.
This is your Virtual Chief of Staff compounding → Build the Roles & Org Map once and every operations tool — onboarding, SOPs, delegation — reads it, so a new person always lands on a real owner. See the whole Run the Business path.Why the first month decides the hire
You know the version where it goes wrong. Someone starts, you're slammed that week, and "figure it out, ask if you're stuck" becomes the whole plan. Three weeks later they still don't know where the parts live or how you quote, and you're quietly wondering if the hire was a mistake — when really the onboarding was.
A checklist fixes the cheapest failure in your business. Not because it's clever, but because it makes the invisible plan in your head real: who shows this person what, by when, and how you'll both know it stuck. Same for a new client — the first 30 days set whether they trust you or start shopping.
