Onboarding Flow

The new Goaliath onboarding experience welcomes you with StoryBrand clarity, aligns reminders with COM-B and Self-Determination Theory, and rewards disciplined exploration during your five-day trial.

Welcome & Story Alignment

On the first login you’ll see a full-width welcome modal that reiterates the StoryBrand promise: no hype, just a clear plan to become the disciplined version of yourself. The modal walks through why we structure goals the way we do (Capability + Opportunity + Motivation) and how daily nudges reinforce identity.

Communication & Context Setup

You can revisit these settings anytime under /dashboard/profile.

Onboarding Tasks (numbered & action-first)

After communications are set, the onboarding card appears on your dashboard. It no longer rewards passive clicks—each numbered item represents a meaningful action. Goal creation is #1, journaling and AI analysis close it out, and we only mark the step complete after the user performs the task.

The tracker sits under the dashboard hero until you finish. Progress is stored in Postgres, so it stays consistent across devices and sessions, and the order reinforces importance (Goal → Action-Step → To-Do → North Star → the remaining deep-work rituals).

Reward: 2-for-1 Offer

Complete every task during your five-day trial and you automatically unlock a 2-for-1 reward: pay for any subscription term (month, quarter, six months, or year) and we cover the next matching term. The onboarding card surfaces the unlock state and links you to /subscribe to redeem it.

As soon as you finish, we also send a storyboard-style celebration email that congratulates you, re-emphasises the doubled-plan offer, and includes a Continue the Journey button straight to /subscribe so you can lock the reward in immediately.
