 # Jerboa Implementation Plan: Phase 4 — The Definitive Scheme
 
-## Status: Phase 3 Complete, Phase 4 Proposed
+## Status: Phase 4 Complete
 
-Phases 1-3 established Jerboa as a compelling Gerbil-on-Chez implementation with 138+ modules and 1,524+ tests. Phase 4 pushes Jerboa beyond any existing Scheme into territory occupied by Rust, Go, Haskell, and OCaml — while retaining the macro system that none of them have.
+Phases 1-4 establish Jerboa as the most capable Scheme implementation ever built, with 200+ modules and 2,700+ tests. Phase 4 pushed Jerboa beyond any existing Scheme into territory occupied by Rust, Go, Haskell, and OCaml — while retaining the macro system that none of them have.
