FORGE · PRODUCT DELIVERY

Idea to release, one connected chain. Nothing lost at the handoff.

Forge automates the product chain: BRD, PRD, architecture, user stories, acceptance criteria, test cases, developer handoff and release. Connected to Aha, Jira, Confluence, ADO and your code. Agentic where it reasons, deterministic where traceability must hold.

REQUIREMENTS

BRD and PRD in your house style.

  • Ideas captured from customer signals, sales notes, support tickets and Aha records, deduplicated and themed
  • BRD: business context, objectives, success metrics, constraints
  • PRD: problem, target users, requirements, scope and non-functional needs, traced to the idea
SOLUTION

Solution definitions grounded in your actual codebase.

  • Reads source to scope the solution, and flags impacted services on every spec
  • System and data design with component contracts, sequence diagrams and dependencies
  • Built on your existing product docs and design system, not a generic answer
DELIVERY

Stories, criteria and tests ready to pull.

  • INVEST user stories, each linked to its PRD section
  • Given/When/Then acceptance criteria, traced to test cases
  • Functional, regression, edge-case and accessibility test cases
  • Developer tickets pre-populated with context, codebase pointers and acceptance gates
TRACEABILITY

An audit chain from requirement to release.

  • Requirement, design, story, test and deploy linked, with immutable evidence
  • Sign-off gates and role-based approvals, with an audit entry on every override
  • Release notes, customer comms and training material, in your voice
  • Learns your style, vocabulary and decision logic with every release
Quantified outcomes

Outcomes the market has already paid for — with the audit chain intact.

The market has converged on what AI-augmented product delivery delivers. Forge targets the top of that range on day one — while keeping the deterministic traceability that regulated industries already require.
