Membership

One membership.
Every idea you have.

A membership is a subscription on your account, at Member, Pro or Max. It follows you across every idea and every project, and it sets your allowances. It opens projects, sets what you can do, and gives you a 10% coupon for every project upgrade, including a move up. Prices are in US dollars and are shown without tax. Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies, and is shown before you pay.

Annual prices shown. Members have no limits on ideation. Free has up to four scenarios and no research. Idea validation is a separate offering, coming soon.

The member discount

10% off every project upgrade, including a move up.

Your member coupon is in your account while your membership is active. Use it at checkout and the discount is shown before you pay. Four rules attach to it, and they are the same in every market.

check_circle

It applies while the membership is active at the moment of purchase. If your membership later ends, nothing you already bought is affected and no discount is reclaimed.

check_circle

It is the same 10% on every project upgrade, including a move up, on every project.

check_circle

One coupon applies to an order: the member coupon and a promotional code do not stack.

check_circle

Refunds are calculated on the amount you actually paid, not on the list price.

Questions

Membership questions

Do I need a membership for a project? add
Yes. Projects start at Member, which opens FORGE · Focus, and Pro adds FORGE · Observe. A project upgrade, bought once for one project, opens every FORGE phase for that project, and it stays with the project if your membership later ends. Ideas themselves are free to explore.
What happens if my membership lapses? add
Your account returns to Free. Nothing is deleted: your projects, files, documents and history remain, and everything you generated stays viewable. Capabilities that needed a paid level become unavailable. Projects without a project upgrade, and scenarios beyond the free four, become read-only rather than being removed. A project with a project upgrade keeps everything its project upgrade includes.
How do I cancel? add
From inside the service, at any time. Cancelling takes no more steps than subscribing did. It takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and you keep everything you paid for until then.
Can I change my mind? add
A first membership is refunded in full if you cancel within fourteen days of your first payment. The full position is in the Refund Policy.
What does upgrading cost? add
The new level at its list price, less a credit for the unused part of your current term, worked out on whole days against what you actually paid. The credit is shown on the order before you confirm. Downgrading takes effect at the end of your current term.
Will my renewal price change? add
Only at a renewal, never mid-term, and you get at least thirty days' notice of any new price before it is charged.

Explore widely. Pay for what earns it.

Start free, take a membership when you want research, your own experts and projects, and buy a project upgrade only for the idea that deserves one.
