Every initiative sits somewhere on the path from Exploration to Full Implementation. Knowing exactly where yours is changes what your team should be doing right now. This tool gives you a stage-identification flowchart, a full checklist of stage-based activities, and the expected outcomes for each stage.

Grounded in implementation science research from SISEP and NIRN, it works at any point in the process. Use it to guide a new program selection, troubleshoot a stalled initiative, or communicate progress to staff and community partners.
