What our first two weeks with a new client actually look like.
SingleBit's first two weeks with a new client run on a fixed rhythm: a live staging URL on day one, Loom walkthroughs on day two, an uncomfortable scope conversation on day three, weekly Friday demos, and a written retrospective at the end of week two. The rhythm, held, is most of the engagement.

Why we ship a staging URL on day one (and what it costs when you don't).
SingleBit ships a live staging URL to the client before the kickoff call is over, every engagement. The URL removes the ability to hide, sets the cadence for the rest of the build, and turns scope questions from memory exercises into click-through demos.

What to ask a product studio before you sign anything.
Ten questions to ask any product studio before signing: who writes the code, show three shipped projects with founder contacts, how scope changes are handled, what the studio declines, who the single point of contact is, when the staging URL lands, what post-launch looks like, current client load, default stack and when they deviate, and the single biggest timeline risk.
