Projects
How projects develop
Stages, preparation, participation and evaluation. A project's stage is kept separate from its evidence, its public visibility and whether people can take part.

The eight stages
| Stage | Public meaning | Required supporting record |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Proposal | An idea with a stated purpose is being considered. | A source or provenance note and an attributed concept. |
| 2. Feasibility | Suitability, demand and requirements are being examined. | Accepted review responsibility and scoped questions. |
| 3. Preparing a pilot | A bounded pilot is being organised. | Defined work, people, permissions, resources and a review plan. |
| 4. Pilot underway | The approved initial activity has begun. | A recorded readiness decision and actual activity. |
| 5. Operating | A continuing activity is available within a defined scope. | Current operator, scope, participation terms and operating records. |
| 6. Paused | Activity or intake is temporarily stopped. | Reason, owner and a review or contact arrangement. |
| 7. Completed | Defined work has ended and can be evaluated. | A completion and result record. |
| 8. Closed or archived | The proposal or activity will not presently continue. | Closure reason, record preservation and a public update. |
Status changes are dated and attributed to an authorised editor. A dormant proposal does not show a recent date just because the site was redeployed. All six current records are at the first stage, Proposal.

Taking part
An expression of interest helps assess a proposal. Booking or event controls appear only for a confirmed service with real capacity and terms. Results are evaluated against the measures set at the start, including setbacks.
