Let’s start with the product update. The new onboarding flow is ready for testing, and early feedback has been positive.

Our biggest challenge is user drop-off during account setup. We should simplify the form and make the next step clearer.

Agreed. Let’s launch the revised version this week and compare completion rates with the current experience.

I’ll prepare the final designs today. Engineering can begin implementation tomorrow, and we’ll review the results next Monday.
