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.
