Use case
Remote-first teams
Remote hires can't absorb how things work by overhearing it. Everything they need in week one has to be written down somewhere they can find it alone, at their own hour.
The failure mode
A remote hire spends week one waiting: for access, for an intro, for someone in another time zone to answer. Momentum is gone before their first real task.
How it's set up in Runway
- Async reading first — Handbook, how decisions get made, where things live — before any call.
- Scheduled intros with names — Dated slots for each intro so nothing depends on someone remembering.
- Access as checkable items — Every tool listed, so a missing login is visible on day one, not day nine.
- Milestones instead of hours — Progress is measured by checkpoints reached, not time online.
Contractors too
A lighter template with the same shape works for contractors: narrower reading, one milestone, and no access to anything they don't need.
Run this plan in Runway
Save it as a role template once, then every future hire in that role starts with the same plan and their own progress view.
