COLLATERAL SYSTEM 04 / 12
Quick-start directions
Six pages that get a new user through the portal on day one.
Each step page pairs a wireframe mock with numbered callouts. The wireframes are drawn from the step text, so the picture and the words cannot disagree.
THE OUTPUT / GENERATED FOR APEX INSTRUMENTS
What it makes.
Six Letter pages plus a one-page wall card.
Apex Instruments, Northlight Group, and every name, price, and contact in these files are fictional demo data. The real versions of this system run inside client systems and are not shown.
THE MECHANISM / SHOW THE SHAPE, NOT THE SOURCE
How it is made.
- 01Ask
Name the product and the five most common tasks.
- 02Recipe
The quick-start skill is a reusable chassis: cover, overview, one page per task, troubleshooting.
- 03Assemble
Each task page gets an abstract screen mock with callouts numbered to match its steps.
- 04Check
Callout numbers are matched to step numbers automatically. A missing number fails the build.
- 05Ship
A six-page PDF plus a one-page wall card that condenses the five steps.
WHAT IT READS
- Task list (the five things users do most)
- Screen map of the portal
- Support contacts
- Brand tokens
WHAT IT CHECKS BEFORE IT SHIPS
- Callout numbers match step numbers on every page
- Wall card holds all five steps on one page
- Support contacts match the directory
- Six pages, no overflow
Counts only. Client and partner names, source files, and internal wording stay private. Every example on this page was regenerated for the fictional company rather than de-branded from client work.
