# What should happen in the first 90 days with a new vendor?

**Short answer:** Pilot and handover, then all routes, then the first monthly review.

Run it in three phases. **Days 1–30:** a pilot route, data handover (rosters, pickup points, gate rules), daily check-ins. **Days 31–60:** all routes live, weekly reviews, repeat problems fixed and the backup plan tested. **Days 61–90:** the first full monthly review, a scorecard baseline and route adjustments.
