 ## The three stages
 
-### Stage 1 — Reconnaissance
+### Stage 1, Reconnaissance
 Cortex first builds a complete picture of your codebase before raising any issues: file structure, tech stack, framework detection, dependency graph, HTTP endpoints, and infrastructure config files.
 
-### Stage 2 — Security scanning
+### Stage 2, Security scanning
 A suite of detectors runs against the recon data, searching for security vulnerabilities: hardcoded secrets, injection risks, insecure dependencies, JWT misconfigurations, CORS issues, and more.
 
-### Stage 3 — Architecture analysis
+### Stage 3, Architecture analysis
 Cortex measures the health of your architectural decisions: god files, circular dependencies, missing error handling, dead code, and test coverage gaps.
