benchmarks for the next documented usability study. These targets should be replaced with observed results after testing is complete.
- target for finding a primary route without assistance

01 / Frame
Name the invisible work around starting university.
The platform treats transition as more than registration and class schedules. Its guide names academics, money, housing, health, belonging, winter and Canada basics, then lets students read what they need now and leave the rest for later.
02 / Architecture
Turn a broad support promise into six clear routes.
Guide, Tracker, Stories, Free kit, Shop and FAQ each answer a different student task. The homepage previews all six in the same order as the persistent navigation, reducing the distance between orientation and action.

03 / Interaction
Let progress live with the student.
The milestone tracker starts with six practical steps, shows completion as a count and progress bar, and allows up to twenty custom steps. Progress is saved on the device, keeping a lightweight planning tool available without requiring an account.
interface path
- 01Six task-led routes separate guidance, milestones, stories, free-kit support, a shop preview and frequently asked questions.
- 02A device-saved tracker begins with six editable milestones and lets a student add, complete or remove their own steps.
- 03Sensitive paths explain moderation, eligibility, consent, retention and not-yet-live commerce states before asking someone to act.
04 / Trust
Set the boundary before collecting sensitive information.
The story form explains moderation and keeps email private. The free-kit flow states its eligibility criteria, required documents, consent language, 30-day document deletion window and 12-month application-retention period before submission.
05 / Launch boundary
Be precise about what works now and what comes next.
The shop is presented as a preview rather than a checkout or preorder. Students can explore kit sizes and products, while the interface keeps pricing, ordering and waitlist consent separate until commerce is ready.
