stage one
Where things start
Stage one is the first phase of a process, typically one that unfolds in numbered stages.
Medical contexts use it for disease progression: stage one cancer indicates the earliest, most treatable form.
It also describes initial phases of projects, plans, or development: We're still in stage one of the renovation.
The phrase implies more stages will follow.
