Baseline

New client onboarding took 3-4 days of manual steps — welcome emails, access provisioning, brief creation.
Project kickoffs were regularly delayed while ops chased missing questionnaire responses and tool setup.
Scope confusion in the first week was common because internal briefs were assembled ad hoc.

What was built

Automated onboarding sequence triggered by signed SOW — sends welcome kit, intake questionnaire, and tool access instructions.
Internal brief auto-generated from questionnaire responses and routed to the assigned project team.
Kickoff scheduling link sent automatically once questionnaire and access steps were confirmed complete.

Observed outcome pattern

Onboarding time compressed from 3-4 days to under 24 hours for most new clients.
Ops manager reclaimed roughly 8 hours per week previously spent on manual onboarding coordination.
Client satisfaction improved — noticeably fewer 'what do I need to do?' emails in the first week.
