frontloading
Early effort emphasis
Frontloading is concentrating effort, resources, or content at the beginning of a process rather than distributing it evenly.
A campaign might frontload advertising spending before an election.
A teacher frontloads vocabulary before students read a difficult text.
We frontloaded all the hard conversations so the rest of the project went smoothly.
The practice assumes early investment pays dividends later.
