Templates You Can Actually Use Today

Five working documents — checklists, an SOP structure, a call script and an escalation framework. No email gate, no drip sequence. Download them and use them with any provider, or with your own internal team.

  • A readiness assessment covering documentation, access and internal ownership
  • The material you need to prepare before onboarding begins
  • Twenty-two questions to ask any provider, grouped by topic

  • A day-by-day training sequence across the first two weeks
  • A systems and workflow testing checklist

Why these are not gated

A checklist behind an email form is a lead magnet pretending to be a resource. These are genuinely useful documents and we would rather you used them. If they are helpful and you later need agents, you know where we are.

Want the reasoning behind them?

Each template has a full guide explaining the thinking — what to include, what goes wrong, and how to keep the document from rotting after month two.
