STEP 1 — Pre-start: Signed contract + IP transfer + ABN noted + insurance check + tools access set up. NDA if relevant.

STEP 2 — Day 1: Welcome call — scope review, kickoff with you + key people, doc walkthrough, first deliverable defined.

STEP 3 — Day 2–5: First small deliverable — clear, time-boxed, low-risk. Daily 10-min check-in.

STEP 4 — Comms norms: Slack channel, email frequency, response time expectations, when to interrupt vs async.

STEP 5 — Access provisioning: Notion / Drive / Figma / GitHub — only what they need. Revoke on exit.

STEP 6 — Working agreement: Sync cadence (weekly?), async preference, decision rights, escalation path.

STEP 7 — First invoice: Set the format expectations — when, how, with what details. Pay promptly to build trust.

STEP 8 — 30-day check: Both sides — is this working? Adjust scope or end gracefully if not.

OUTPUT: Pre-start checklist + day 1 agenda + first-week structure + working agreement + invoice format + 30-day check.
