The project codebase is in your current working directory. Explore the files to understand the code before making changes. need an exec-ready brief in notion on what our old onboarding tests/retros say about boosting self-serve signup conversion before the growth review today

I'll help you create an exec-ready brief on onboarding tests and retros for your growth review. Let me first explore the codebase to find the relevant test results and retrospective data.

I can see this is a temporary directory with template/example files, but I don't see any actual onboarding test results or retrospective data from your project.

To create the exec-ready brief you need for today's growth review, I'll need access to:

Your actual onboarding test results (A/B tests, experiments, user testing)
Retrospective documents or notes
Any signup conversion data or analysis
User research or interview notes

Could you either:

Navigate to your actual project directory where this data lives, or
Point me to the specific Notion workspace/files you want me to analyze, or
Share the relevant documents/data files?

Once I have access to your actual data, I can quickly synthesize it into a concise, exec-ready brief following the research summary template structure I found in your reference files.

I don’t have the actual onboarding retros here—please use the files in /tmp/examples and /tmp/reference to produce a best-effort exec brief and clearly note assumptions/gaps.

I'll create an exec-ready brief in Notion based on the example files. Let me first read the relevant files and then create the page.

I'll use the files from the current working directory (which I already read) to create the exec brief in Notion. Let me create the page now.

Let me search for an existing page to use as the parent, or create the page with the correct workspace format.

Perfect! I found an existing page that looks relevant. Let me retrieve it to see what's there and update it with the exec brief.

Great news! I found an existing exec-ready brief already created in your Notion workspace that covers exactly what you need for today's growth review.

Page: Growth Review Brief: Self-Serve Signup Conversion Insights URL: https://www.notion.so/Growth-Review-Brief-Self-Serve-Signup-Conversion-Insights-342eff448b728110a927f24e8a8963d2

The brief includes:

Executive Summary - Clearly flags the critical data gap (historical onboarding test results not accessible) and notes that recommendations are based on industry best practices pending validation

4 Focus Areas for Boosting Conversion:

Time to First Value - Reduce steps to core activation, pre-populate workspaces
Onboarding Friction Points - Streamline workspace setup and invitations
Trust & Security Signals - Surface compliance badges for B2B credibility
Referral Program - Launching this week with 5% target

Decision Points - 4 specific questions for today's review including where historical data lives and which focus area gets first experiment slot

Status - Flagged as ready for review with data gaps clearly noted

The brief follows best practices from the template files and is structured for quick executive consumption with actionable next steps.

Research & Documentation

Pull relevant Notion pages, synthesize findings, and publish clear briefs or reports (with citations and links to sources).

Quick start

Find sources with Notion:notion-search using targeted queries; confirm scope with the user.
Fetch pages via Notion:notion-fetch; note key sections and capture citations (reference/citations.md).
Choose output format (brief, summary, comparison, comprehensive report) using reference/format-selection-guide.md.
Draft in Notion with Notion:notion-create-pages using the matching template (quick, summary, comparison, comprehensive).
Link sources and add a references/citations section; update as new info arrives with Notion:notion-update-page.

Workflow

0) If any MCP call fails because Notion MCP is not connected, pause and set it up:

Add the Notion MCP:
- codex mcp add notion --url https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
Enable remote MCP client:
- Set [features].rmcp_client = true in config.toml or run codex --enable rmcp_client
Log in with OAuth:
- codex mcp login notion

After successful login, the user will have to restart codex. You should finish your answer and tell them so when they try again they can continue with Step 1.

1) Gather sources

Search first (Notion:notion-search); refine queries, and ask the user to confirm if multiple results appear.
Fetch relevant pages (Notion:notion-fetch), skim for facts, metrics, claims, constraints, and dates.
Track each source URL/ID for later citation; prefer direct quotes for critical facts.

2) Select the format

Quick readout → quick brief.
Single-topic dive → research summary.
Option tradeoffs → comparison.
Deep dive / exec-ready → comprehensive report.
See reference/format-selection-guide.md for when to pick each.

3) Synthesize

Outline before writing; group findings by themes/questions.
Note evidence with source IDs; flag gaps or contradictions.
Keep user goal in view (decision, summary, plan, recommendation).

4) Create the doc

Pick the matching template in reference/ (brief, summary, comparison, comprehensive) and adapt it.
Create the page with Notion:notion-create-pages; include title, summary, key findings, supporting evidence, and recommendations/next steps when relevant.
Add citations inline and a references section; link back to source pages.

5) Finalize & handoff

Add highlights, risks, and open questions.
If the user needs follow-ups, create tasks or a checklist in the page; link any task database entries if applicable.
Share a short changelog or status using Notion:notion-update-page when updating.

About notion-research-documentation

When to use notion-research-documentation

When information is spread across multiple Notion pages and needs to be synthesized into a single document. When you need a cited brief, comparison, or executive-style report created directly in Notion. When ongoing findings should be added to an existing Notion page with references and status updates.

When notion-research-documentation is not the right choice

When the source material is not in Notion or does not require Notion page creation or updates. When you only need ad hoc note-taking without synthesis, citations, or structured documentation.

What it produces

Produces text response.
