Nor do I. If stamped all at once, it would be done either at the beginning before any steps have been completed or the end after all steps were completed.

If done before the steps were completed, what guarantee was there that the necessary steps would actually be done?

If done at the end, what guarantee was there that the steps had been done?

The only method that makes sense is that the stamps were applied following the completion of each step.
