a phrase used to describe the first stages of a creative or developmental process, during which novel concepts are explored, experiments are conducted, and the project is still in its early stages of development. It represents an alpha-level exploration phase where testing new ideas, pushing limits, and setting the groundwork for later phases of development are the main priorities. The alphastage is a dynamic and adaptable phase that encourages risk-taking, inventiveness, and the search for novel solutions.
