Before revision:  For example, kinetic proofreading processes rely upon numerous sequential reactions in order to guarantee the precise construction of specific macromolecules Hopfield, 1974 . In this work, we study the transient properties of such systems and fully characterize their first passage time (completion)  distributions.
