The user problem was high-friction, fragmented, and trust-sensitive.

The category needed more than information. It needed a workflow that felt personalized, guided, and operationally manageable.

Design the workflow first, then use that workflow to unlock growth.

  • Built a guided admissions process with modular steps and role-based automation.
  • Used customer journey segmentation to identify upsell and personalization opportunities.
  • Designed the operating model so the experience could scale without losing trust.

Early traction proved the workflow was real, not theoretical.
