Captures the four-turn working-through of the monetization line under the forge-as-orchestrator shape: - The orchestrator IS the control plane and can be closed/private from day one; the runtime stays OSS. - Charge for the moat (see-inside-the-run + cross-run aggregation), not the webhook/orchestration plumbing the forge vendors build free. - Heuristic: single-run/single-node = free; cross-run aggregation + central enforcement + identity/fleet = paid (== individual vs team). - Provenance: emit signed provenance via a free API (tamper-evident offline, BYO-SIEM); sell retention/search/policy. Forge footer is an optional off-by-default consumer, not the audit record. - On-prem priority: self-hosted runners > self-hosted provenance; sell the governed fleet, not a single runner (which is just the free runtime). - Fly = metered capacity line, not the moat; self-host == same closed control plane licensed, not a separate product.

Docs
How this project records what it builds and why — and a guide to picking the right document for what you're capturing.
When to write which document
| Artifact | For |
|---|---|
PRD (docs/prds/) |
A feature: what to build, scope, success criteria. |
Research note (docs/research/) |
A landscape/tradeoff investigation. |
Decision record (docs/decisions/) |
A decision that isn't itself a feature — a policy, a convention, a "we will / won't do this," or a load-bearing choice made inside a larger PRD that deserves to be discoverable on its own. |
A decision that's fully specified by a PRD doesn't need duplicating in a decision record. Write one when the decision would otherwise be buried in prose, lost in an issue thread, or have no in-repo home at all (small requests that don't merit a PRD; non-feature choices like merge strategy or a trust posture).
