Why teams standardize onboarding
Keep production profitable by locking project foundations early.
Whether you are a solo operator or a growing studio, the same principle applies: the fastest projects are not the ones with the fewest emails—they are the ones where expectations were captured early. Create your Fentyr account and turn this outline into a live client flow you can reuse and refine.
FAQ
