Going through a document for proof reading, I came across the phrase "In this stage, the model is put into operation" and was kind of confused. Mostly I had heard "At this stage ...", i.e. "at" instead of "in". I had a quick look over the net, and could find "In this stage ..." has been also used, however, I am doubtful about:
- This particular usage
- What is the proper use cases of these two phrases
phrases prepositions

"At" identifies a particular moment in the process/timeline, whereas "in" is more general and covers anything that happened during that stage. If the discussion is about the stage itself, then the model becoming operational happens in that stage. If the discussion is focused on the model itself, then you would describe at what point it's put into operation.
