transition points

Where shifts happen

Transition points are moments or locations where something changes from one state, phase, or condition to another.

In narratives, transition points mark shifts between scenes or plot developments.

In data analysis, they indicate where trends change direction.

In life, they're the junctures between stages: Graduation is a major transition point.

The term emphasizes the specific moment of change rather than the gradual process.
