How to Get Started Fast

Most teams waste the first day. This checklist helps you move from brief to useful draft quickly.

First 2 hours

• align on objective and constraints
• split workstreams by owner
• define one hypothesis per workstream

First 24 hours

• collect highest-signal data only
• pressure-test assumptions early
• build an early deck skeleton

First rehearsal

• run a timed presentation
• log every unclear claim
• assign owner to fix each gap

Final 24 hours

• tighten storyline and transitions
• simplify slides for readability
• rehearse Q&A with tough objections

Quick quality check

If one judge asks "why this option," every teammate should give the same core logic in under 20 seconds.
