A new hire left to drift reaches full speed around month 6 or 7. On a written 90-day plan with a mentor and three gates, month 4. At the sample's numbers structure recovers $14,500 of output per hire — and when it's the wrong hire, the day-45 gate exit costs $12,875 against the month-7 quiet exit's $47,250.
How it works
- The 90-Day Plan — fifteen editable milestones across Learn / Do / Own, each with ONE named owner ("the team will show them around" means nobody will). Mark milestones done; each phase scores itself and tells you what kind of gate conversation you're walking into
- The Ramp Math — your salary, your ramp guesses, what structure recovers per hire, and the early-exit math that makes the hard conversation easier to schedule
- The Gates — what to actually ask at 30, 60 and 90 days; the GO / COACH (one gap, in writing, two-week re-check) / EXIT rule; and the re-hire question to ask at every gate
