Once that backend work is complete then we need to deploy the Code to Testnet. :Backend

Stage 2B. Begin Dashboard Development:

Once backend coding is complete (runs in parrell to Testnet and auditing :Frontend

Stage 3. Testnet for Code:

Once testnet testers verify backend is functioning as expected ship to auditor. :Backend

The auditor completes their work and remediations are completed. :Backend

Stage 4B. Dashboard Testing:

Deploy Dashboard for Testing before Code goes to mainnet :Frontend

Stage 5A. Mainnet Deployment of Code:

Either code is directly deployed on Mainnet by devs or preparation of a Deployment Guide. :Backend
