SEVERANCE · v5 · iPHONE 14 PRO · DARK

Your first 30 days,
handled.

The final design system, rendered in dark mode for the iPhone 14 Pro form factor. Calm, capable, slightly dry. One sequenced action per day, runway as a single number, and a graceful exit when you no longer need it.

01 · FIRST IMPRESSION

Onboarding — eight minutes, three questions, calm tone.

The product earns its position in the first eight minutes. Splash sets the tone with restraint. Onboarding asks just enough to personalize without interrogating. Voice: a friend who happens to be an HR lawyer.

We're sorry.
Let's make this a little calmer.

Splash
Restraint as a design choice. Coral wordmark dot is the first hint of warmth in an otherwise quiet screen.

Home · Day 4 (the hero)
Single action card on top, one runway number, one check-in nudge. Coral dot on the day strip is "today, here."
02 · WHEN THE USER IS IN SHOCK

Calm mode — the first three days are not productive days.

Days 1–3 are structurally different from Day 4 onward. The home screen narrows to a single quiet card. Empty space is the design. The product holds the user back from regrettable decisions.

8:02
Good morning,
Joanne.
Day 2 · we'll be steady.
Today: rest.
Save your work contacts if you haven't yet. Four minutes. Nothing else needs doing today.
We'll surface paperwork on Day 4.

One card. Empty space below, on purpose. The most-discussed screen in usability testing.

YOUR ANSWER (auto-filled)
"laid off — position eliminated, no cause"
05
UI Filing Helper · Section 3
Phrasing checks against state-specific rejection triggers. The product translates EDD jargon — never speaks it.

CLAUSE TYPE
Non-solicit
⚠ unusual · CA
VERBATIM
"For 12 months, you may not solicit, contact, or hire any employee or contractor of [Company]…"
PLAIN ENGLISH
You can't reach out to former colleagues for jobs for a year. In CA, this is broader than typical — state law limits enforceability.
CONSIDER ASKING
"Can we narrow this to direct reports only?"
06
Severance Reviewer · clause card
Card-deck. One clause at a time, in your jurisdiction's context. Plain English next to verbatim.
03 · MONEY, HEALTH, GRACEFUL EXIT

The runway tile, the COBRA decision, and Day 30.

Three of the most-loved screens in usability testing. Runway is one number, never a chart. COBRA is ranked by *your* providers and prescriptions. Day 30 is honest, not celebratory — a graceful exit instead of a high-five.

You got through 30 days.
WHAT YOU DID

We'll step back now.
A weekly check-in is enough. You don't need us every day anymore.

Day 30 · graceful exit
Not "you did it!" — survived, summarized, set free. The product steps back rather than holding you prisoner.
