Role-based quickstarts that skip irrelevant setup
Split onboarding and docs by role so developers, PMs, analysts, admins, and team members each get the shortest path to their first useful action.
Why this can grow a startup
A lot of onboarding pages lose people by treating every visitor like the same buyer. Role-based quickstarts fix that by skipping the parts a reader does not need yet. The developer gets installation and validation steps. The PM gets reporting and workflow guidance. The admin gets configuration. That makes the product feel simpler without making it smaller.
Company example
Amplitude's docs route visitors into separate quickstarts for developers, PMs, and analysts, while Linear's Start Guide splits admins from team members and points each group to the right onboarding path.

When to use it
Use this when Docs, SEO, Onboarding is relevant to activation, education, multi-persona 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.
