A funnel showing 5 onboarding steps: Account Signup, Quick Profile, First Core Task, Aha Moment, and Return Session.

What it shows

  • Unnecessary setup steps (like email verification) cause instant friction.
  • Time-to-Value (TTV) must be compressed to keep user intent high.
  • The 'Aha!' moment must occur before complex workspace configurations.

The takeaway

Strip friction between registration and first value; defer setup until value is felt.
