The Crucible

The Crucible takes an idea and builds a product from it, but it checks the idea first.

Before any code, it asks five plain questions. Is the problem real? Does it pay for itself? Is it legally clear? Can it be built? Is it safe to put in front of people? A bad answer here costs an afternoon instead of a year. What passes becomes a one-page plan, and you sign it. Nothing is built until you do, and any change comes back to you for a new signature.

Then it builds the product while you watch, and the build has to pass six gates before you get it. It has to compile. It has to pass the routine checks that catch most production failures. It has to meet accessibility standards, actually run, and look deliberate. Last, it is checked against the plan you signed. A failed gate stops delivery and explains why in words. You can fix it and run again, or sign past it on purpose. Either way the decision is written into the papers, and it is yours.

At the end you have the source code, the papers and the keys. Take it and host it yourself, or let IntelliBotique keep running it.
