Forgea 4-week Starter PoC.
Forge is Clastrum's Starter PoC engagement. In four weeks we deliver a working prototype in a production-grade codebase — not a slide deck, not a throwaway script. We agree an acceptance criterion before work begins; any component that does not meet it is rebuilt at no additional charge.
What Forge delivers
A working prototype in a production-grade codebase, handed over at the end of week four. The prototype is built to the acceptance criterion agreed at kick-off — if any component falls short, we rebuild it at no charge. You own the code outright.
How a Forge engagement runs
We open with a scoping session: we read your existing data, map the problem, and agree the exact acceptance criterion in writing before a single line is built. The four weeks then move in short build cycles, each surfaced to you as working software. Nothing ships without your sign-off.
Scope, price, guarantee
Forge is fixed in scope and fixed in price, quoted per engagement. Duration is four weeks from kick-off to handover. You know the cost before any work begins. If a component does not meet the agreed acceptance criterion, we rebuild it — no additional charge, no negotiation.
When Forge is the right fit
Forge is right when you have a defined problem, real data, and a need to see working software — not a report. If you are unsure whether the problem is well-enough defined, a Lens diagnostic first is the smarter move: Lens is the fastest way to put senior eyes on the question before committing to a build.
- What does a Forge engagement deliver?
- Forge delivers a working prototype in a production-grade codebase in four weeks, measured against an acceptance criterion agreed before work begins. Any component that does not meet the criterion is rebuilt at no additional charge.
- How is Forge priced?
- Forge is quoted as a fixed fee per engagement, not as open-ended day rates. The price and acceptance criterion are agreed before any work begins, in a signed Statement of Work. Payments can be made online through the PayTR gateway.
- Do I need a Lens first?
- Not always. If the problem is well-defined and the data is accessible, Forge can start directly. If there is uncertainty about the architecture, the data estate, or where value actually lives, a Lens diagnostic first is the smarter path.
