Adoption Timeline
What the first 30 days
with StandIn look like
A week-by-week guide to realistic adoption.
Expect friction in Week 1. Expect relief in Week 3.
Day 1–3
Turning it on
The silent installation.
- One AdminOnly one person needs to auth the integration in Slack/Teams.
- No Forced UsageStandIn sits silently in channels. It does not interrupt.
- The First WrapYour "Pilot Team" (one project) posts their first end-of-day wraps.
- Testing BoundariesSomeone will ask a private/gossip question. StandIn will refuse to answer. This builds trust.
- Missed PublishesSomeone will forget to Wrap. The next morning, a question will go unanswered. They won't forget again.
Week 1
Learning the rules
Friction establishes the protocol.
Week 2
Behavior Shift
Quality goes up. Noise goes down.
- Better WrapsWraps shift from "diary entries" to functional bullet points. People learn what the machine needs to ingest.
- Specific QuestionsInstead of "Any updates?", queries become "Did Sarah merge the auth fix?". Precision increases.
- Quiet EveningsThe notification volume after 6 PM drops by ~80%. People stop checking Slack "just in case".
- Faster MorningsThe "morning archaeology" of reading 400 messages is replaced by a single query to StandIn.
Week 3–4
The Compounding Effect
Continuity becomes the default.
What does not happen
No Surveillance
Managers never get a "who is working" dashboard. Activity metrics are never exposed.
No Reporting Pressure
Users are not nagged to "fill out their timesheet". Wraps are positioned as a courtesy to teammates, not admin for HR.
No Forced Compliance
If a team member doesn't Wrap, the system just says "I don't know." The social pressure fixes the gap, not the software.
