Suede AI Onboarding Skills Pick the one milestone worth measuring. Delete the steps in its way.
It picks the single activation milestone that predicts retention and instruments it, then goes through the first run step by step and names the setup steps to delete, because most onboarding failures are steps nobody needed. Empty states, checklists, and first-session sequencing get rebuilt around that milestone. The signup form itself gets the same audit, field by field; the emails are suede-emails.
