question: How soon can you start?
answer: Work starts after the discovery call and a signed scope, not before. Discovery is a 30-minute call or an async brief, and reading your existing systems comes first. A written scope follows for your sign-off, and the build begins once it is signed, with screenshots and tests at every step. Book the call, and the start is set from there.
