Customer Onboarding Checklist
This page documents what a new customer/profile owner should complete before their profile can go live in the future real-account version.
This page is a planning tool. It describes future onboarding behavior and does not enforce anything yet.
Future onboarding
Go-Live Preparation
The current prototype has many of these pieces as demo pages or local WordPress-option data. The real product should guide profile owners through them in a clear account-based onboarding flow before Discovery visibility is enabled.

Future behavior
What This Should Become
| Onboarding area | Future implementation note |
|---|---|
| Account setup | Use real logged-in accounts, verified email, consent to rules, and role-based access. |
| Profile basics | Store basics with field-level visibility so private and matching-only details do not become public accidentally. |
| Images | Validate one clear adult portrait, generate an eyes-only teaser, and keep customer-approved reveal/gallery controls. |
| Profile answers | Convert natural wording into third-person public answers and require customer approval before publishing. |
| Trust layer | Invite reviewers without exposing named scores or private comments by default. |
| Discovery readiness | Use launch checklist status plus owner/admin visibility settings to decide normal, preview-only, or hidden Discovery placement. |
| Safety and privacy | Never reveal exact address, contact info, private fields, or unapproved sensitive details. |
