The periodic table and stage gates
See what your company has proved and what to prove next.
The Periodic table is a map of what a company needs to prove on its way from idea to scale. Each tile is an element: something your company can show evidence for, such as a clear customer, a working price or a repeatable channel.
| A tile that is | Means |
|---|---|
| Evidenced | A finished Sprint proved it. It lights up. |
| Reviewed | Its evidence was checked. |
| Next | Everything it depends on is proved: ready to unlock. |
| Locked | Something it needs comes first. Hover it to see what. |

The last stage
A stage gate passes when every element it requires is evidenced; until then it lists what is still to prove. Your pathway narrows the table to what matters for your role, and Show all brings back the whole of it.
Start with Next to unlock: those are the elements you can light up with your next finished Sprint.
