30-Day Check-In
Early Onboarding Review — First Impression Snapshot
Onboarding Milestone
30 days isn't a verdict — it's your first real conversation about fit, clarity, and what's next.
Purpose
30 days is too early to score — but it's exactly the right time to check alignment, surface friction, and set the tone for what great looks like at Marks In Time.
This check-in focuses on onboarding completion, first impressions, and identifying anything that needs immediate attention before the 60-day calibration.
No ratings. No judgments. Just honest calibration.
