Phased Framework

Foundation + Four Operational Phases

Foundation stage plus four operational phases for transparency and control.

Back to Overview

Stage and Phase Table

Stage/Phase Focus Key Question
Foundation Stage Foundation "What tools exist?"
Phase 1 Glass Box "What will happen?"
Phase 2 Human-in-the-Loop "Can I stop/change it?"
Phase 3 Progressive Disclosure "What is the detail?"
Phase 4 Multi-Modal Output "How do I use results?"

Clarification: The Foundation Stage is a prerequisite setup stage. The operational workflow begins at Phase 1 and runs through Phase 4.

GPS Metaphor

Traditional software is a speedometer: it shows the current state only. Project Phoenix is GPS navigation: it shows destination, route, progress, and the ability to reroute.

Reference Implementation

TennisAgent is the primary implementation demonstrating the full phased framework with CLI, Analyst's Cockpit, and Agentic Cockpit interfaces.
