Layout Pattern
Circular Lifecycle
Stages arranged in a closed loop. Shows processes that repeat rather than end.

How to Use It
Use circular diagrams when the point is that the process never finishes - product development cycles, sales stages, learning loops, compliance cycles. 4-6 stages works best around the circle. Label each stage clearly, add arrows showing direction. A center element can hold a theme, metric, or system name. Avoid if the process actually has a clear endpoint - a linear process flow reads better.
