Generate a 90-Day Onboarding Plan
Someone good is starting soon and the plan so far is a welcome email and a hope they figure it out. This builds a proper 90-day onboarding plan matched to the role, the manager, and the team they are joining, with milestones that turn a new starter into a contributor. For managers and HR who want the first three months to count.

<task>
**Build the 90-day plan:**
1. Define the focus and three to four key objectives for each phase: days 1 to 30 (learn), days 31 to 60 (contribute), and days 61 to 90 (lead or own)
2. For each phase, identify two specific relationship-building actions that are most important for this role
3. Suggest one milestone check-in per phase: what the new hire and their manager should discuss and what success looks like at that point
**Edge case handling:** If the hire is a people manager who will be managing existing team members from day one, add a note on how to build trust with direct reports before making changes.
