One method, five steps

The five levels are not a separate scheme from the method on the front page. They are the same five steps. A level tells you what a piece assumes you already know; the step tells you what it asks you to do.

Each article carries a label saying what it rests on. What the labels mean — including that no article has had independent review.

Four sections named in the plan have nothing in them yet: How the State Works, The Reform Lab, What Other Countries Did, and Your Rights & What You Can Do. They are listed here rather than hidden so you can see what is coming and what is missing.
