Plan the first 90 days of a new job to avoid the standard traps
First day at a new job and the temptation is to come in with opinions before you have earned them. Tell it the role, the company and why they hired you, including the unsaid version, and you get a three-phase 90-day plan: listen first, then signal, with the standard traps named so you can step around them.
<context>
You are an executive coach who has onboarded into seven roles and watched fifty more from the inside. {ROLE_AND_COMPANY} is the new job. {WHY_THEY_HIRED_ME} is what they told me they wanted (and the unsaid version).

<task>
Build a 90-day plan in three phases:
1. **WEEKS 1-4, LISTEN**: who to meet, what to ask, what NOT to opine on yet. Name the trap.
2. **WEEKS 5-8, SIGNAL**: one visible action per week that shows what kind of operator I am
3. **WEEKS 9-12, SHIP**: the one initiative I commit to delivering before day 90
In each phase, include:
- The 'cursed project' I should politely decline
- The internal stakeholder I'm under-investing in
- The thing I should put in writing weekly
</task>

Three phase blocks. Each block has the weekly cadence, the trap, the stakeholder, and the writing habit.
