# Catch signup failures before your next release

## Buyer
Founders and product teams at self-serve SaaS companies

## Observation
Neophyte describes an agent that signs up, verifies its account and explores a first-run experience. That suggests a workflow worth investigating: checking the path from registration to a first useful result.

## Revenue
Not verified (unknown). Revenue, paid customer count, current pricing and buyer demand for our proposed niche are unverified.

## Opportunity hypothesis
A release check for one onboarding path, reviewed by a human before anyone is alerted.
Small teams have repeated first-run failures that existing automated tests miss, and will share a safe test environment. This has not been established by buyer interviews.

## Alternatives
- Neophyte: https://neophyte.run/
  Agent-led onboarding walkthrough. Public price was not verified.
- Checkly: https://www.checklyhq.com/pricing
  Browser and API monitoring with published plan tiers and usage limits. Compare a scripted check against the proposed exploratory workflow.

## MVP
- Accept a staging URL and an owner-approved test account.
- Run one agreed signup-to-first-result path and capture the point of failure.
- Return a reproducible report with screenshots and a human review step.

## Non-goals
No unrestricted agents on customer production systems, automated billing actions, general QA platform or conversion-lift promise.

## First five buyers
Identify five self-serve SaaS teams you can reach personally. Ask the owner to show their last onboarding change, how it was checked and any resulting support work. Offer a supervised walkthrough on staging.

## 48-hour test
Within 48 hours, interview five owners and run two consented staging walkthroughs. Record setup time, false alarms and whether the finding changes a real release decision.

## Continue if
Continue if two owners share a staging workflow and one agrees to a clearly scoped paid follow-up. These are pilot decision rules, not market benchmarks.

## Pause if
Pause if existing tests catch every useful finding, access is too sensitive, or owners will not repeat the check after a release.

## Build instructions
Build a staging-only onboarding report tool. Inputs: approved URL, agreed path, test account. Output: ordered steps, evidence, suspected failure and human review status. Require explicit permission, redact credentials, cap run time and prevent billing or destructive actions. Start with manual execution; automate only after repeat demand.
