How the gate works
How the Client-Onboarding Runway gate works
This tool grades a new client's onboarding before you schedule the kickoff. It scores 6 weighted controls into a 0–100 number — then a gate that can only make the verdict worse.
The 6 weighted controls
A blocker item below ready — no signed agreement, no deposit, or unconfirmed scope — holds the kickoff regardless of the readiness score. You can't start work you haven't been paid for or scoped, however ready everything else looks.
Why: Deposit, scope, access, and the kickoff slot are all set — the readiness score is 80, which reads GO. But there's no signed agreement (a kickoff-blocker at 0): the gate holds the kickoff. You can't start billable work on an unsigned agreement, however ready everything else looks, so the verdict is HOLD KICKOFF.
A high score didn’t save it. The score is context; the gate is the answer — and it names the one thing to fix first. Your own onboarding checklist, scored offline. Not legal advice — confirm your own contract requirements.
