Fewest steps before it does anything

Counted the same way as the onboarding ladder: joining a thread you are already in is zero, texting a number is one, installing an app before you can begin is four. Agents behind a waitlist or an invite are left out rather than ranked last, because unavailable is not the same as high friction.
