The best head start you can have is to get to know the tools and develop the skills that will help you do it quickly and efficiently once you get all of the information at kickoff.

Rule of thumb in picking a ratio... let the kitbot be your guide. If you want to be fast, be faster than the kitbot. If you want to be a pusher push harder than the kitbot. So for now, just plan on one reduction that you can easily change to hit any of the speeds discussed.
