stage 2

Part of process

Stage 2 designates the second phase in a sequential process, implying progression from an initial state.

Medical contexts use it for disease advancement: stage 2 cancer has spread beyond its origin but remains relatively contained.

In gaming and competitions, stage 2 follows successful completion of stage 1.

The term suggests intermediate status—past the beginning but not yet advanced.
