Use this for any ordered multi-stage system: funnels, approvals, onboarding, qualification, procurement, review paths, learning progressions, or any journey where movement narrows over time.
This ordered-stage template can stand in for funnels, approvals, onboarding, qualification, procurement, or any path where handoffs filter what reaches the end.
Use this whenever a system narrows, qualifies, delays, or filters movement across ordered stages.
1. Map any staged journey
Use the same structure for customers, documents, applications, features, orders, or learners moving step by step.
2. Show where flow narrows
Highlight attrition, filtering, approvals, quality checks, or handoff delays between stages.
3. Swap the story lens
Rename the same stages for marketing, service, compliance, operations, or learning without changing the core logic.
