getting-started
Readiness and first run
Understand the two pieces of data Home needs before it opens the full CareerOS tool set.
What ready means
Home considers an account ready when it has a non-empty Career Story and at least one Profile with a stated target. Account age or an old onboarding checklist does not replace those rows.
Close one gap at a time
If the Story is empty, upload a resume for a review and explicitly confirm extracted facts, or tell Vale your history. Once Story material exists, add a target to a Profile. Nothing is written from extraction before confirmation.
If the data cannot be read
A store failure is shown as unavailable with a retry path. CareerOS does not treat an unknown read as an empty Story or ask a returning customer to upload again.
