What you get for $29 once

  • Checklist templates per role. Multi-step onboarding across day 1 / week 1 / month 1, each step with a due-day offset, assignable to a hire in one click.
  • New-hire portal. Every hire gets a private tokenized link with their checklist, progress bar, linked docs and self check-off — no account needed.
  • Content library. SOPs and policies as rich HTML docs with optional video links, organized by category and linked from checklist steps.
  • Quiz steps. Multiple-choice checks with a pass threshold; the step only completes on a passing score, and answers never leak to the portal payload.
  • Manager dashboard. All active onboardings, overdue-step alerts, completion-rate reporting and per-step manager verification.
  • No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $29 is the whole price.

Where does my onboarding content live?
