# Progress

<p class="says">We are at step 1 of 7, the concept note. It is written; it waits for melux's agreement in principle. Next: the reviewers' check.</p>

## How a step moves

The work is cut into seven steps, each producing something you can read or click. Every step gets the same four marks, always in this order (D9):

| Mark | What it means | Who |
|---|---|---|
| **Written** | The step's documents exist | Claude, from the sources and earlier decisions |
| **Agreed in principle** | melux has read each document and agrees with its direction; open questions are answered | melux |
| **Checked by reviewers** | Two agents, Claude and Codex, each look for what is wrong or missing, on their own; every finding is answered | the agents; melux decides what the findings change |
| **Signed off** | The step is final and dated; its copy is kept in [history](history.html) | melux, after colleagues' comments |

Nothing is drawn or built before a step is signed off.
