For students & researchers
A high-school investigation, an undergraduate capstone, a doctoral chapter or a lab programme: the standard is the same. A search you can cite, figures worth publishing, and attribution that stays yours.
Recognize yourself?
You are scoping a science-fair project, capstone, thesis or study and need to know what already exists.
You need a defensible prior-art and literature position with proper citations, not a chatbot's confident summary.
Your result must meet academic standards before anyone discusses applications.
Commercial potential would be welcome, but rigor and attribution come first.
What you walk away with
The FORGE method is proprietary to IPGuru: you approve the evidence at every gate, and a weak Grade loops the work back instead of letting it through.
Focus
What is known, what is not, and where your work sits, at your level and in your field.
Observe
Prior art across 250M+ patents in five languages, with a cited record of what was searched, found and concluded: methodology, not vibes.
Refine
Figures, diagrams, 3D models and short videos of the concept, consistent enough for the poster, the paper, the fair or the defence.
Grade
The same gates professional inventions pass. Rigor becomes visible and gradable instead of asserted.
Execute
A science-fair report, a thesis evidence base, or, where the work warrants it, a filing or grant application. You keep ownership; your institution's policies govern.

From the platform
Smart Plant Stakes: the kind of project a student can carry from question to rendered, cited, examined result, and present without apology at any level.
The search is free, and the record it leaves is yours to cite.
