Stage band 20–44 · all items scored

No framework: silence is treated as permission to test with a driver, scored at the Stage 1 floor and always Provisional; distinct from Stage 0 (Blocked). Readiness = 50% Legal + 50% the average of track record and ecosystem; ranks use the low end of each range. For the Legal score, the stage sets the band and the four weighted dimensions place the state inside it. Momentum shows pending bills and never changes a score.
