Madewell Research & Development

The first software team
that never sleeps.

FORGE is a governed autonomous SDLC that replaces entire development teams — from requirements to production — with 24 specialized AI agents and enforceable quality gates.

The Problem

AI can write code.
It can't ship software.

Every AI coding tool on the market — Copilot, Cursor, Devin, Entire — still requires human developers to review, test, deploy, and maintain. They accelerate individual tasks but leave the $940B software services market structurally intact.

Coding Assistants

Write faster code

Copilot, Cursor, Cody. Autocomplete for developers. Humans still own every decision.

HUMAN REQUIRED: Review, Test, Deploy, Maintain
Agent Platforms

Manage AI sessions

Entire, Devin. Track agent reasoning and coordinate handoffs. Humans still ship.

HUMAN REQUIRED: Governance, QA, Deployment
FORGE

Ship governed software

Full-lifecycle autonomous execution with policy-enforced quality gates. No human bottleneck.

AUTONOMOUS: Governed end-to-end
How It Works

9 phases. 24 agents.
Zero human bottleneck.

The Differentiator

Governance is
the product.

AI generates probabilistic output. Software delivery requires deterministic guarantees. FORGE enforces 11 governance heuristics on every line of generated code — before it ever touches production. No human reviewer needed.

This isn't a coding assistant with a review button. This is an autonomous system with built-in quality law. Every decision is auditable. Every deployment is policy-compliant. Every agent operates within enforced boundaries.

Minimum Test Coverage: 80%
Rejects code below threshold. Auto-regenerates.
Cyclomatic Complexity ≤ 10
Enforced per-function. Complex code is restructured.
SQL Injection Prevention
Parameterized queries enforced. Raw SQL blocked.
Security Compliance Scan
Secrets detection, dependency audit, OWASP checks.
API Response Budget: <200ms
Performance benchmarks enforced at generation time.
+
6 more heuristics
Architecture compliance, type safety, naming conventions...
Market

$940B in software services.
Ripe for automation.

$375M

Traditional cost to migrate a 5-million-line legacy codebase. Typical timeline: 18-36 months with a team of 50+ engineers.

~$500

FORGE's computational cost for the same migration. Timeline: hours. Agents: 24. Quality gates: enforced.

Intelligence Layer

Build + Defend

FORGE builds software. RDA defends market position. Together they form a closed autonomous loop: RDA detects competitive threats, FORGE generates counter-features. 24/7. Autonomously.

Three layers.
Complete autonomy.

01

Intelligence Layer

RDA continuously scans GitHub, Hacker News, Reddit, and ArXiv for competitive threats and emerging patterns. Triggers automated FORGE responses.

100+ events/day · $0.37/day
02

Execution Plane

24 specialized agents operate across a 9-phase pipeline. Each agent owns a domain: requirements, architecture, backend, testing, security, deployment.

24 agents · 9 phases · $0.02/project
03

Governance Layer

11 enforceable heuristics gate every output. No side-effects without policy approval. Allow, deny, regenerate, or escalate. Immutable audit trail.

11 heuristics · 100% compliance · 14ms latency
Traction

Proven in production.

Per project cost

TaskManagementAPI: full-stack app with tests, Docker, CI/CD. 24 seconds. Two cents.

100%
Governance pass rate

11 heuristics enforced on every generation. Zero deployments bypass quality gates.

24/7
Autonomous operation

Running in production via systemd. RDA scanning. FORGE responding. Zero downtime.

The future of software
is autonomous.

FORGE is raising its seed round to bring governed autonomous software production to enterprise.
