FORGE
AI made building nearly free. The flood of prototypes now dies for lack of validation — not lack of code.
FORGE scores how close your artifact is to a fundable venture across five stages: Frame, Opportunity & threat, Recon, Generate & test, and Estimate. Ten questions, two minutes, an honest readiness score — and the one stage that's holding you back.
Run the diagnostic See the pipelineFive stages turn a built artifact into a market-validated venture. Click any stage to see what it contains and what happens inside it.
Risk = Threats + Opportunities, read together. Each market reading is plotted by threat severity (x) and opportunity upside (y). Edit any cell; click the 1–5 chips to score.
| Market reading | Threat | Opportunity | Note |

Every cell is editable and saved. The classic nine blocks for the FORGE venture.
Innovation-management is the anchor market. Adjust TAM and the capture percentages to size the obtainable opportunity, and project the market's growth.
Business-case appendix sources backing the market figures above. Illustrative scaffolding — figures to be replaced with real funnel data.
Abductive bets, each with a kill-criterion. Set status and log evidence as experiments run.
Simulate a funnel of evidence; each hypothesis auto-resolves against its kill-criterion (illustrative).
Activities across the validation window, each tied to the hypotheses it tests. Edit the table below — the Gantt redraws live and persists with the workspace.
| Activity / phase | Start (wk) | Length (wks) | Tests |

Three phases, each with its target revenue range.
Edit any assumption; the revenue table and stacked chart recompute live. SaaS is annualized run-rate (seats × price × 12).
Min / Max per driver; Likely = the value set above. Feeds the Monte Carlo P10/P50/P90 and the tornado.
