    The paper provides a detailed and complete discussion on the design of the starting phase in codes for initial-value problems. The objective is to get, efficiently and reliably, a step size which is on scale, using a robust algorithm. The proposed solution has three distinct stages. It is implemented in the context of Runge-Kutta codes, and thoroughly tested in all its aspects on stiff and non-stiff problems.
