Meaning and boundaries
Progression is not defined by color or step number alone; each stage needs an entry condition, purpose, completion condition, cleaning rule, and permitted next action.
Why it matters in glass restoration
Advancing too early can leave prior-stage damage; working too long can add unnecessary removal, heat, cost, and distortion.
