Forge Academy

Coming soon

Forge Academy is on its way. We will share more here when it is ready.

// your work, your data

The promise

The smithy remains mine. The work is yours.

What the smith makes is yours: your data, your content, your code, from day one, in formats you can open anywhere, while we run it for you. If you ever leave, leaving is a transfer, not a rebuild. No one can hold it hostage.

Three things you can always do

Owned and operated, kept apart.

You are the owner from day one, even while we hold the keys day to day. Running it is ours while you stay. Owning it is yours throughout.

Export your data, any time
In standard formats you can open anywhere. The same right GDPR already gives you, made easy.
Take the whole thing
The database transfers to your own organisation and the code to your own account. The live system, not a pile of files.
A written safety net
A written right to invoke that transfer yourselves, including if AI Smith ever stops operating.

The exit kit

If you ever leave, here is exactly what you get.

No rebuild, no hostage. Leaving happens by transfer, not extraction, and it is never refusable beyond settling what is already owed.

The database
Your project transferred into your own organisation, with all your data intact.
The code
The repository transferred to your account, with the environment and a plain runbook, so another team can pick it up.
A final export
A clean copy of everything, and a short support window for questions.
Your own keys
Your model API key swapped in for ours, so the assistant keeps working under your account.

Low to start. Monthly after.

Three parts. Never more.

We set it up and we run it. The price is for the running and the learning, both monthly things, not for the build. No two trades take the same system, so we do not price off a list. We price off your actual work. We would rather give you an accurate number than an attractive one.

What the setup deposit is
One low setup: a deposit on the build we carry, kept low on purpose. It is not where we make our money, and it is the only thing you ever pay upfront.
What the monthly fee carries
We run it, watch it, and keep it current, and the system keeps learning your work. That is the whole of the running cost.
What is never charged
No revenue share. No per-user fees. No surprise line items. A capped, generous monthly AI allowance is included, and most organisations never reach it.

You commit for the first year. A single, straightforward 12-month managed term, because we built it without charging upfront.

What sets your number: what you take, how big the operation is, which parts your trade needs, how deep the connections go, and how hard the AI works. One conversation about what you run, then a real number, in writing, that holds for the year.

The groundwork is laid once. Begin with a site, add the hub when you are ready, and you pay only the difference. No second setup, no rebuild, no migration.

The honest boundary

What you keep, and what stops.

You keep a working system as of the day you leave. What stops is us running, maintaining, and improving it, and the assistant stops compounding, because the running and the standard’s updates were ours. Leaving is easy and allowed. What you lose is the thing that kept getting better.

While you stay, you are the data controller and we are the processor under a written agreement. The ownership is continuous, not an exit-only event.

Independence you can put in front of a board.

We'll make the guarantee concrete for your trade: what you own, what it costs, and exactly how leaving would work.
