I am working to optimize the user onboarding flow for [PRODUCT SERVICE_NAME], which is used by [TARGET AUDIENCE]. My goals are to maximize user activation and long-term retention.

Help me design a detailed, optimized onboarding journey including recommended improvements, key touchpoints, and supporting rationales. CONSTRAINTS: - Minimize friction and reduce the number of steps in the onboarding flow, asking for only essential information where needed - Use data-driven practices such as user feedback, behavioral analytics, and friction point analysis to inform proposed changes DELIVERABLES: - Step-by-step onboarding flow diagram or detailed outline, showing each stage and user interaction - List of recommended onboarding features (with rationale) prioritized by impact on activation/retention - Metrics to track onboarding success and ideas for continuous optimization OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS: - Present the onboarding flow visually (using a clear numbered outline or table) with annotations for each step - Highlight quick wins and areas for deeper investigation or experimentation Before providing the detailed solution, ask me clarifying questions about our product goals, users and other constraints
