Most agencies make you wait weeks before seeing anything.
We don't.
Here's what your first week working with us actually looks like:
Day 1: You're In
→ Portal access arrives in your inbox → Kickoff call scheduled (we show up prepared) → Technical discovery begins — we ask about systems, integrations, pain points → You share credentials, repos, documentation (everything stays in the portal)
No generic intro decks. We dive straight into your project.
Day 2-3: We Audit Everything
→ Codebase review (if you have existing code) → Infrastructure assessment (hosting, databases, third-party services) → Integration inventory (what connects to what, and how fragile it is)
We're not guessing. We're mapping the terrain before we build.
Day 4: The Plan Takes Shape
→ Architecture document shared in the portal → You review our technical approach → We flag risks, dependencies, and decision points → Feedback loop starts — this is collaborative, not dictated
You know exactly what we're building and why.
Day 5: Development Starts
→ First milestone plan presented → Development environment ready → First code committed (yes, in 5 days) → You see tangible output before the first weekly check-in
No "we're still ramping up." We're building.
Why This Matters
Most projects lose momentum in the first two weeks.
We frontload the discovery, planning, and setup so you see progress immediately.
By the end of week one, you're not wondering if this was a good decision.
You're watching it happen.
What does your typical vendor onboarding look like? How long before you see real output?
