Now / Future Customer Journey

Stop making customers wander through compliance.

The current flow loses ownership between sales, docs, Sumsub, readiness, and first use. The future flow gives every customer one visible path, one next action, and one Lunar-owned state.

Now / Future Map

Same customer intent, totally different operating logic. The important work is the bridge in the middle.

How an Account Earns This Journey

The invite gate has an upstream. Nothing enters S1 from the research pile — an account earns the invite through real contact evidence and an explicit GTM decision.

E1 · AtlasDiscovery signalA source-backed entity exists in Atlas: segment, Key People, evidence. Research only — no outreach is implied.Addressable market, not pipeline
E2 · GTMReal contactA captured conversation, booked call, or curator-logged interaction. Without it, the account stays in market inventory.stage: spoken-to · booked · introduced
E3 · GTMClassificationThe conversation gets an honest verdict on what this account actually is right now.bd-ready · product-discovery · watchlist · not-relevant
E4 · GTMHandoff decisionA named owner takes the next move, with the service conversation confirmed rather than hypothesized.handoff: bd-handoff · serviceability-review · nurture · pause
E5 · JourneyInvite gateOnly now does S1 begin: account brief, service lane, first useful outcome, and owner all exist before the customer enters.Enters this map at S1–S2
Rule: researched-but-not-contacted companies never appear in this journey. If a stage claims an account is in motion, there must be a real source behind it — a capture, a transcript, or a logged interaction.

Where We Fail Most

The worst problem is not verification itself. It is ownership disappearing between intent, evidence, decision, setup, and first useful action.

1
Invite before pathWe create confusion immediately if the account brief, product path, and first task do not exist.
2
Sumsub becomes the front doorThe customer experiences compliance before they understand the Lunar journey.
3
No single source of truthPeople, docs, blockers, owner, and readiness live in separate places.
4
Status is not actionablePending, resubmit, review, and rejected do not automatically become clear tasks.
5
First use is not stagedApproval can happen before Ops has prepared a useful workspace.

Operating Changes

This is the actual product backlog hiding inside the journey map.

Area
Now
Bridge
Future
Invite
Customer enters before the account has enough structure.
Require intent, fit, owner, product path, and first action.
Invite opens a guided setup path.
Sumsub
Verification feels like the front door.
Run Lunar preflight before selecting the Sumsub flow.
Sumsub becomes an engine behind the Lunar checklist.
Status
Pending and blocked states are not useful enough.
Translate each state into owner, task, reason, and unlock.
Customer sees next action instead of status soup.
Docs
Evidence gets requested again across paths.
Create a document vault tagged by person, service, and requirement.
Docs are reused across Banking House modules.
Launch
Approval can still lead to an empty workspace.
Prepare owner, module, first task, and support lane during review.
First login creates useful customer movement.

The GTM Fields Behind This Journey

These fields already exist in the Atlas GTM activity model. The journey map is the story; these are the operating handles that make it accountable.
