Preparation Required clarification: Roll before or after?

If an ability has Preparation Required, and also requires some activation roll that you have to make in order to successfully activate the ability, do you roll before or after the prep time?

Basically, if you'd roll before, then that'd mean you would know you'd succeed if your preparations aren't interrupted, and if after then you could spend time time preparing and then find out it was all for nought if you botch the roll at the end. How is it supposed to work?
