## Prompt

```text
Help me set clear 30-60-90 day goals for someone who just joined my team. This is step 2 of the 'Onboard a new hire' pack; paste the pre-start checklist from step 1, or the success profile from hiring, if you have them.

**Role and level:** [DETAILS]
**What success looks like at 12 months:** [OUTCOMES]
**Their background and strengths:** [e.g. "strong analyst, new to our industry"]
**What they'll own first:** [PROJECTS/RESPONSIBILITIES]
**Earlier step output (optional):** [PASTE]

Use this structure:
- Days 1-30 (learn): relationships, systems, context, and one early win.
- Days 31-60 (contribute): take on defined work with support.
- Days 61-90 (own): run their area with growing independence and propose one improvement.

Return:
1. A table for each phase: 3-4 goals, how we'll know each is done, and the support I'll give.
2. Learning goals kept separate from delivery goals, so they aren't judged on output too early.
3. A check-in rhythm (weekly 1:1s plus 30/60/90 reviews) with 3 questions for each review.
4. Early warning signs that onboarding is off track, and what I'd do about each.
5. A short version written to the new hire, so we can agree the goals together rather than me handing them down.

Make goals specific to the role. Avoid filler like 'learn the culture' unless it's tied to something observable.
