“at this stage” Vs. “in this stage”

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


Thank you in advance.
