Value is the point where onboarding stops being a checklist and starts producing a meaningful outcome. The customer should understand what has been achieved, how to use the solution, and what ongoing success looks like.
Customers can complete onboarding without truly adopting the solution. When value is not clearly defined or measured, the relationship can lose momentum immediately after launch. This transition matters because it connects onboarding effort to practical usage and customer confidence.
