+## [Postprocessing](@id small_strain_postprocessing)
+`MaterialModelsBase.stress_from_state` ([documented there](https://github.com/KnutAM/MaterialModelsBase.jl/pull/21),
+pending release) provides a generic postprocessing interface: given a strain
+and an already-converged state, it returns the corresponding stress without
+advancing any history/internal variables. This package implements it (i.e.
+extends `stress_from_state` with a method) for [`LinearElastic`](@ref),
+[`Plastic`](@ref), and [`GeneralizedMaxwell`](@ref), including
+lower-dimensional stress states (via `MaterialModelsBase.ReducedStressState`)
+for `LinearElastic` and `Plastic` (see also
+[Finite Strains](@ref finite_strain_postprocessing)).
+
+!!! note "Not (yet) supported"
+    `CrystalPlasticity` (small-strain, despite referencing a finite-strain
+    framework in its docstring) has no `stress_from_state` method.
+    `RotatedMaterial` wrapping a finite-strain material errors in
+    `RotatedMaterial`'s own `material_response` (a hard
+    `::SymmetricTensor{2,3}` type assertion), independently of this
+    interface.
