Root Cause Coverage

Payment processor / treasury 14-21 days Partially addressed ~15-25%
Wrong stakeholders in room 7-14 days Partially addressed ~35%
Sales-to-onboarding handoff 7-21 days Not addressed 0%
Reactive session structure 7-14 days Partially addressed ~50%

What All 6 Agents Agree Is Right

1. Pre-work pause policy

"If pre-work not completed by first meeting, onboarding PAUSED until ready." Every agent called this the single best element. If enforced, it saves 7-10 days alone.

2. Two sessions per week cadence

Directly combats the session decay pattern (Gurstel: 73→11→11→36→12→11→26 min). More frequent touchpoints prevent 10-day gaps from becoming 3-week gaps.

3. Internal Champion requirement

Naming a specific project owner reduces the rotating-attendees problem (Cirqul) and the rapport-with-wrong-person problem (Wolford).

4. Parallel track framing

Explicitly carving out merchant processing, shortcode, and email as separate tracks is a structural improvement over implicit sequencing.

5. Session 1 terminology section

Pre-loading 15 product terms addresses the 18% comprehension-gap finding. Less time lost to vocabulary in early sessions.

6. Internal SOP standardization

The 19-step procedure adds repeatability for internal setup. Not a bottleneck fix, but good hygiene.
