Three steps. Most people stop after step two — that's fine, the playbooks are useful on their own.

Google sign-in. One click. We keep it light because we hate filling forms as much as you do.

If a playbook gets you 80% there and you need a human to bridge the last 20%, talk to someone who's actually been there.
