Consistent stage recognition

As a case manager, I want to recognize a case’s stage instantly across the listing, search, and detail surfaces so that the same color and label always means the same thing.

Cases listing with the StageBadge in the Stage column

What this enables

Section titled “What this enables”

A single component — the StageBadge — renders the canonical three-stage badge wherever a stage is shown: the case detail header, the Cases table Stage column, and the top bar search dropdown. Once the manager learns “amber means Arbitration,” that recognition holds across every screen.

See it in the prototype

Section titled “See it in the prototype”
  • Case header: case-1 — top of the page
  • Cases table: /manager/cases — Stage column
  • Search dropdown: any page → focus the top bar search → results show case # plus StageBadge

Why it works this way

Section titled “Why it works this way”

Granular statuses (Determination, Closed — Initiating Party, etc.) still exist on the Case Information card but never drive navigation or high-level badges. A reviewer who recognizes amber as “arbitration” anywhere recognizes it everywhere — that one-to-one mapping is the whole point of consolidating to three stages.
