Stamp, journal, printer, scanner, mobile kit — the lean buy-list with budget checkboxes so you don't overspend on day one.
Bonds and E&O checkboxes, Snapdocs and signing platform profiles, business basics — everything that makes you bookable.
Outreach tasks, pricing floor worksheet, first-assignment prep, and post-signing follow-up — the last mile, checkbox by checkbox.
