External dev teams that ship in month one, ship all year. External dev teams that don't, never do. Our five non-negotiables:
Day 0: full access + code walkthrough.
Day 3: every engineer ships a PR.
Day 7: shared roadmap in one doc.
Day 14: first joint retro.
Day 30: external team owns 1+ production module.
SLEM ships this onboarding sequence as standard on every engagement.
