Company-size-specific admin onboarding guides
Break onboarding into separate admin guides for small teams, mid-market teams, and larger organizations so the evaluator only reads the setup path that matches their company.
Why this can grow a startup
Switchers lose confidence when setup docs read like they were written for somebody else. Company-size-specific guides cut that friction. The buyer can tell the product has seen their kind of rollout before, and the path feels shorter because irrelevant governance or scale detail drops away. That is part onboarding, but it is also positioning. The docs quietly say who the product is ready for.
Company example
Linear's Start Guide sends admins to different onboarding guides for small teams, startups and mid-size companies, or large and scaling companies instead of forcing every workspace through one generic setup path.

When to use it
Use this when Docs, Product Marketing, Sales is relevant to switcher intent, segmentation, activation and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
