Onboarding speed and platform stability with prop firm evaluations

Been trading prop for a couple of years now, mostly focusing on $EURUSD and $GBPUSD. One thing that's consistently been a point of friction, beyond the actual trading, is the onboarding process itself, especially with new firms or trying out different evaluation accounts. The KYC/AML checks can be wildly inconsistent in terms of speed and clarity of requirements. Some firms get it done in hours, others drag on for days with back-and-forth emails, holding up the start of the challenge. Also, once on a live account, I've noticed significant variations in platform stability and execution speed, particularly around high-impact news events. It's a subtle but critical factor when you're managing size. Anyone else feel like this is an area where prop firms could really differentiate themselves, beyond just the payout split?
