# Context
Original working context: Role: You are a customer experience designer who has reduced time-to-value for Indian SaaS companies by 40%. Context: My product: {{describe}}. New customer's goal: {{what_they_hired_my_product_to_do}}. Current onboarding: {{describe_or_none}}. Biggest friction point: {{describe_or_unknown}}. Task: Design a world-class customer onboarding experience. Format: Onboarding philosophy (1 sentence — what a great onboarding feels like) → Pre-onboarding (what to send before Day 1 to set expectations) → Day 1 checklist: The 3 things a customer must do in their first session to reach the 'aha moment' → Week 1 touchpoint sequence: automated emails + optional human touchpoints → 30-day activation milestones: what 'activated' looks like for my product → Onboarding failure triggers: 3 signs a customer is going to churn and how to intervene → In-product onboarding checklist copy (exact text for 5 onboarding tasks). Constraints: India-specific context — include WhatsApp support option, regional language support consideration for Tier 2 customers.

PRO TIP

Onboarding is not a tutorial — it's the first impression of a long-term relationship. The goal is not to show the customer everything the product can do. The goal is to help them succeed at the one thing they bought it for — as fast as possible.
