Ship the delta
this afternoon.

The Startup preset skips Document and Approve. Analyze → Design → Code → Deploy. Designer + engineer sign off — nobody else in the way. Fastest phase spine Trunk ships.

The Startup preset

Four phases. Two signers. Zero committees.

1 Analyze Document 2 Design Approve 3 Code 4 Deploy

Document + Approve are skipped by default — the signal that motivated the delta plus the design gate is enough. When your team scales past ~15 people, flip Document and Approve on and Trunk auto-migrates existing deltas.

Designer signs Design

One gate on the design phase — the designer. No PM+Designer dual signature.

TL signs Code

Tech Lead reviews the PRs. Same review UX as GitHub, but tied to the delta.

On-call signs Deploy

Whoever's on rota clicks Deploy. Preview → prod, one push, monitored.

Why teams pick this

Fewer gates. Same visibility.

Design is still enforced

You don't lose the design layer just because you skipped Document. Styles, components, variants still gate on the Designer.

Signals still wire back

Motivating signal in, validating signal out. Post-ship regression still routes to the delta author.

PRD never goes stale

Documentation anchors to the delta, not a wiki page — they stay accurate without anyone circling back to update them.

One click to grow up

Turn on Document, Approve, Legal, Security as you hit each stage. No forced migration.

"We ship 4 deltas a week with 6 people. In Figma+Linear+GitHub we'd ship 1 and argue about the other 3."
