Embryo to hospice
A whole-product
lifecycle.
A product earns its next stage through evidence. The model keeps discovery, release status, maintenance, recovery, documentation, and eventual retirement connected—so experiments are not presented as releases and useful knowledge survives the product.

- 02ViabilityProve one narrow path works.
- 03AlphaMake it usable by early users.
- 04BetaWiden usage and harden it.
- 05CurrentMaintain the live product line.
