Primes¶
- Stage Gate Process
- New product development (canonical): staged sequences of discovery, scoping, business case, development, testing, and launch, separated by idea screens and go-to-development, go-to-testing, and go-to-launch gates.
This sourceIntroduces the Stage-Gate model: staged new-product development separated by go/no-go evidence gates.

Mechanisms¶
- Capability-Ladder Runbook
- The discipline is to bind each rung's contract to a real readiness check at promotion time — the runbook proposes the capability, but Checkpointed Stage Promotion is where a rung earns the right to be called done.
This sourceShows that stage transitions are gated by specified deliverables, must-meet criteria, and explicit promotion decisions.

- Hold-and-Resume Checkpoint
- It is essentially a stage-gate applied to a reduction — a recurring gate that must return a go/hold/reverse verdict against predefined criteria before the next stage proceeds.
This sourceDefines recurring gates that apply predefined criteria and decide whether work proceeds, pauses, stops, or recycles before the next stage.

- Scale Gate
- Predefined go/no-go criteria
This sourceDefines stage-gate development as stages separated by checkpoints where predefined criteria determine go/kill authorization before further commitment.
