Running it, start to finish
- List the tribal knowledge nobody has written down — this is the main input.
- Identify a real, small, shippable task for week one.
- Hold the day 30 checkpoint properly and capture what they would change.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Gets one real contribution shipped in week one, which establishes participation rather than observation.
- Writes down the unwritten rules, the single largest reducer of time to productivity.
- Sets checkpoints that surface problems at day 30 when they are still cheap to fix.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Spend your effort on section 3. It is the highest-value part and the one that feels least like real work. The useful entries are the ones that feel awkward to write.
- Ask what they would change at day 30. There is a short window before a new person acclimatises and stops seeing what is odd. After that the information is gone.
- Assign an owner per item. Onboarding that belongs to everyone belongs to nobody, and the gaps only show up as a resignation at month five.
