Client onboarding workflow checklist

Who this is for

Small teams, consultants, and service businesses that need one place for projects, docs, tasks, and repeatable workflows.

The buying problem

Workspace software helps when the team knows what should live there. It creates friction when every project, note, task, and client space is moved at once without permissions or ownership rules.

Decision criteria

1. Start with one recurring project workflow before moving everything.
2. Check views, permissions, templates, and export options before committing.
3. Separate internal work, client-facing spaces, and private notes.
4. Confirm automations are understandable enough for the team to maintain.
5. Decide what remains manual when judgment or client approval is required.

Cautions

• Do not move sensitive client data before checking permissions.
• Avoid rebuilding every process on the first day.
• Do not imply AI output is automatically correct without review.
