Simulated example

Client onboarding failure

Customer start event exists; onboarding completion is not proven.

The customer signs up, but the downstream onboarding step remains unproven.

What this demo is / is not

  • Simulated example: static scenario data for reading the proof loop.
  • Safe demo data: no customer data, provider calls, or live workflow inspection.
  • Not connected: it does not inspect your workflows.
  • Real proof: real proof requires connecting or configuring Make, n8n, or Zapier.
Proof loop

Observed trigger to missing proof

This static demo stops at the missing-proof state and names the safest next check.

Observed trigger

Signup or payment event exists with expected onboarding workflow target.

Missing downstream proof

Quiet failure boundary

No task ID, folder creation timestamp, or welcome email delivery marker is present.

Exact next action

Proof / next action

Inspect the first onboarding creation step and confirm whether the task/folder/email branch received the customer payload.

Missing proof vs proof found

Missing proof

This scenario has no downstream evidence yet.

Proof found

Not claimed in this static demo.

Observed

Observed evidence

Signup or payment event exists with expected onboarding workflow target.

Missing proof

Missing proof

No task ID, folder creation timestamp, or welcome email delivery marker is present.

Inferred risk: A new customer may be waiting without internal setup, files, or first instructions.

Next action

Next action

Inspect the first onboarding creation step and confirm whether the task/folder/email branch received the customer payload.

Recovery should only be treated as proven after downstream evidence exists.

Technical demo assets

Optional repo docs for operators who want the sample workflow spec and JSON payloads. These are demo assets, not hosted provider proof or required reading.

Diagnosis loop details
Diagnosis
Customer start event exists; onboarding completion is not proven.
Proof
Observed signup/payment evidence exists; task/folder/email proof is missing.
Next action
Verify the task or folder branch before sending any follow-up manually.
Provider-specific note

The same proof pattern can be modeled for Make, n8n, or Zapier. Provider capability levels differ, so this page avoids provider-parity and automatic recovery claims.
