	5	FactHarbor is currently in an early setup phase. Processes described here are being established.

	7	== 1. Purpose ==
	8	The Transition Model explains how FactHarbor evolves from an early experimental phase to a more stable organisation and, eventually, to a federated ecosystem.
	9	== 2. Phases (Illustrative) ==
	10	* Prototype / Proof of Concept – Very small core team; focus on validating the basic approach.
	11	* Beta – More users and contributors; governance and processes become clearer and more formal.
	12	* Release 1.x – Stable operation, documented contributor processes, and clearer separation of roles.
	13	* Federated Phase – Multiple instances or partners adopt the model; shared governance principles across a network.
	14	The exact naming and number of phases can be adapted later, but the idea of deliberate transitions should remain.
	15	== 3. Transition Principles ==
	16	* Preserve mission and neutrality during growth.
	17	* Document which responsibilities move from individuals to shared bodies.
	18	* Make role changes and new structures transparent to contributors and users.
	19	* Keep early experimental material accessible as historical context.
	20	== 4. Practical Use ==
	21	This page is intentionally lightweight. More detailed transition plans and roadmaps will be held in project management tools or dedicated XWiki pages when needed.
