BE THOROUGH — Small Details. Big Impact.

Monochrome Staff Values Series: Be Thorough
At Monochrome, excellence doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through consistency, attention to detail, and a mindset of doing things properly the first time.
Being thorough means more than just ticking boxes. It’s about taking full ownership of the task at hand — whether it’s answering a rider’s question, verifying a driver’s documents, or sending brand partners their earnings reports.
🧠 Think Beyond the Surface
Being thorough means asking:
Have I double-checked this information?
Is this process fully completed, not just “mostly done”?
Will the next person who picks this up understand it clearly?
Is there anything I missed that could cause confusion or delay?
Monochrome’s quality depends on your ability to slow down just enough to get things right.
✅ Do It Right, End-to-End
Examples of being thorough at Monochrome include:
✅ Ensuring a driver’s folder has all required and unexpired documents before approval.
✅ Cross-checking the ride mileage before crediting loyalty points.
✅ Logging issues and tagging the right team without missing context.
✅ Following up with a customer after their issue is resolved to make sure they’re happy.
Thoroughness builds trust. It says to our users, “You’re in good hands.”
🧩 Attention to Detail = Better Systems
Your work is part of a bigger system. When you're thorough:
Riders get clearer, more accurate communication.
Drivers experience faster and more seamless onboarding.
Brand partners receive cleaner reporting and quicker support.
Internal teams avoid having to fix avoidable errors down the line.
Every detail you check helps everyone else move faster and smarter.
⚖️ Balance Speed with Accuracy
We live in a fast-paced environment — but speed without accuracy leads to more problems. Acting with pace should never mean cutting corners.
So how do we balance both?
Fast is fine. Sloppy is not.
When in doubt, pause to proofread, test, or confirm before moving on. It only takes a moment — but it saves hours later.
💬 Communicate Clearly
Being thorough also means making sure your communication is complete and unambiguous. Whether it's a Slack message, email, comment, or document:
Don’t leave people guessing.
Use full sentences and structured formatting when needed.
Clarify who’s responsible for what.
Set deadlines if required.
