## Detailed info

## What is NoteForge?

NoteForge is a workspace for testing an idea before building it. It turns initial research into experiments, evidence, decisions, and progress toward a paying customer.

## What NoteForge does

The loop runs from idea to research, verdict, experiment, evidence, an updated score, then pivot or proceed, and first payment. The starting point is initial research and a verdict, described as taking a few minutes, with market evidence, key opportunities, the riskiest assumptions, competitive context, next experiments, and a path to first payment. A form asks what you are thinking about building, and it does not have to be fully formed. The stage list includes just an idea and paying customers.

## Who NoteForge is for

NoteForge is for someone testing an idea and for someone who already has a path toward a paying customer. The form asks what they are trying to figure out.

## How NoteForge works

Describe the idea, pick a stage, and run a validation. NoteForge keeps the evidence, decisions, and progress connected so the next test is visible. Free covers up to 3 idea validations per month. Founder is the paid subscription. A downloadable validation report is marked coming soon, and an accelerator report is listed as a one-time purchase.
