The method

The FORGE journey

IPGuru's proprietary methodology, run by the crew, guided by you. Two free phases tell you honestly whether the idea is worth pursuing. Three graded phases build, test, and deliver it.

Focus

PHASE 1 OF 5
FREE

What happens

  • chatYou describe the idea in your own words; Nova asks the questions that make it concrete
  • crop_freeTogether you set scope and constraints: what is in, what is out, what cannot change
  • inventorySide ideas go to a named parking lot instead of derailing the project

What you get

  • check_circleA clear concept statement: what it is, the problem it solves, who it is for
  • check_circleNothing locked in; every detail stays open to discussion and change

PHASE 2 OF 5
FREE

What happens

  • searchCora reads the market and the closest prior art
  • engineeringThe crew tests feasibility: buildable, sensible, wanted
  • differenceYou learn exactly what sets your idea apart, or that nothing does yet

What you get

  • check_circleA gate report with system-run evidence: a prior-art scan, a market and competitor read, and a patentability signal
  • check_circleConcept images of your idea, generated for you at the gate
  • check_circleAn invention disclosure that is yours to keep, whatever you decide next
loyalty Want the controls yourself? Members direct the camera and hunt prior art hands-on in the Studio, at any point in the journey. The verdict and its evidence stay free. Step into the Studio
key The only gate with a price. Choose a destination and a grade: Bronze, Silver, or Gold. That single payment unlocks Refine, Grade, and Execute, all-inclusive within generous caps. See Singapore pricing

Refine

PHASE 3 OF 5
GRADED

What happens

  • edit_noteThe crew drafts the clear, complete description your destination demands
  • architectureRemy produces the technical diagrams; Kira pictures the concept for pitching
  • autorenewEvery draft is scored against a rubric and refined until it holds

What you get

  • check_circleDescriptions, figures, and alternative embodiments, each scored and readable
  • check_circleSuccess criteria you agreed to, so done means done
balance

Grade

PHASE 4 OF 5
GRADED

What happens

  • gavelYuki runs a mock examination the way a real examiner would
  • policyClaims, diagrams, and descriptions are stress-tested for legal, technical, and precision weaknesses
  • u_turn_leftWeak points send the work back to Refine with a plan, not a penalty

What you get

  • check_circleA gate report in four plain buckets, so you know exactly where you stand
  • check_circleA project scorecard that tracks every dimension as it improves
u_turn_left Looping back is progress. Strong projects usually cycle between Refine and Grade more than once. The journey bar shows the return in amber, never in red.

Execute

PHASE 5 OF 5
GRADED

What happens

  • descriptionIris assembles the final materials in the format your destination expects
  • translateEverything arrives with a plain-English reading beside the formal text

What you get

  • check_circleFor a Singapore filing: an attorney binder ready to file yourself through the IPOS Digital Hub, or hand to a patent attorney or agent
  • check_circleFor other destinations: the pack that goal expects, from campaign pages to disclosure records

When the idea changes shape

PIVOT: restart without losing what you paid for

Sometimes the objective moves so much that the original idea no longer holds, or a project simply gets muddled. A PIVOT is a restart you choose: Vega archives the old project, forks a clean one, and your grade carries across. Smaller corrections never need it; you can step back to any earlier phase at any time.

Gate report

Four plain buckets after every Grade pass: what holds, what needs work, what is missing, what to do next.

Project scorecard

Every deliverable scored against its rubric, dimension by dimension, so improvement is visible.

Plain-English reading

Formal documents arrive with a version you can actually read, side by side.

Attorney binder

For filings: an organised package ready for the IPOS Digital Hub open_in_new self-service system or for a patent attorney or agent, with the gaps honestly named.
