Quick turn compresses the queue, not the physics. Missing data is what actually delays a build.

Gerber or ODB++, drill, stackup and BOM with manufacturer part numbers.
Layer count, copper weight, material and finish confirmed before tooling. Impedance targets stated with the reference layer.
Which side is populated, the polarity conventions, test requirements and any parts supplied by the customer.
Shipping terms and documentation agreed up front; a fast build still waits at customs if the paperwork is incomplete.
Incomplete data: a missing drill file, a BOM without manufacturer part numbers, or an assembly drawing that does not show which side is populated. Each gap costs a question and a day, which is most of the quick-turn advantage.
Before. The finish affects lead time and the assembly process: OSP may not suit a board that will sit in stores, and HASL may not hold fine pitch. Deciding first avoids a re-quote.
