In plain terms: Forge is being built in stages. Each milestone lands a specific
set of capabilities, and each one builds the clean data and the trust the next one
needs. This page shows the roadmap and where we are on it.
The milestones
Where we are
The named M0-M6 build baselines are complete.Forge is now in post-baseline work: widening the regulatory and interpretation corpus,
deepening labeled evaluation, and preparing the controlled baseline for partner use and
feedback. For each partner environment, production identity, key custody, deployment,
and permitted CAD connections are configured to that yard’s requirements. The
Research Log tracks this work week by week.
How the path is ordered
The rollout follows the same logic as How Forge Fits: start where the leverage is highest and the risk lowest, then expand.- M0 to M2 establish the foundation: trustworthy sources, per-yard isolation, the data model, rules ingestion, the decision ledger, the capability catalog, and a basic UI.
- M3 to M5 add geometry, enforce that numeric claims are grounded, route rule changes, and stand up the build-readiness workflows for a first pilot.
- M6 and beyond bring evidence into the CAD-aware review experience, connect to existing yard tools where permitted, expand the governed corpus, and build the outcome-driven learning flywheel.
