### Helios — Onboarding Revamp

Squad

Activation

Objective

Rebuild the first-run experience so a new workspace reaches its _first activated outcome in under 10 minutes_, lifting week-1 activation from 41% to 60% and cutting onboarding support tickets by a third.

Problem

New accounts hit a wall before value. The current 9-step setup wizard is linear, forces config decisions up front, and shows an empty dashboard on completion.

**47%** of trials never complete setup, and activation has slid for three consecutive quarters as our ICP shifted toward smaller, self-serve teams.

Goals

* Reach activation (first report shared) in **< 10 min**, down from a 26 min median.
* Lift week-1 activation rate from **41% → 60%**.
* Cut onboarding-tagged support tickets by **33%**.
* Ship a reusable checklist + sample-data framework other squads can adopt.

Scope

In Scope

* Progressive setup checklist with sample-data seeding
* Role-based first-run paths (Admin / Analyst / Viewer)
* In-product activation telemetry & funnel events
* Redesigned empty states with one-click templates

Out of Scope

* Billing & plan-selection redesign
* Mobile app onboarding (tracked separately)
* SSO / SCIM provisioning changes
* Marketing-site signup funnel

Risks

High 

**Sample-data seeding** may slow large-tenant provisioning. Mitigation: async backfill + load test by Jun 09. 

Med 

**Telemetry gaps** could blur activation funnel reads. Mitigation: event audit before beta. 

Low 

**Copy localization** trails GA for 4 locales. Mitigation: ship EN, fast-follow. 

Current Status

Build phase is **on track**. The progressive checklist and sample-data seeder are in code review; usability scores rose from 68 to 86 SUS in the May round. Watching provisioning latency on enterprise tenants closely.

Next Steps

* Lock activation event schema — Tom · Jun 02
* Load-test seeding at 10k rows — Diego · Jun 09
* Recruit 8 beta workspaces — Lena · Jun 13
