What ve-fork does

Research in. A working tool out.

ve-fork doesn't write a report — it produces a runnable copy of the Beachhead Workbook, cells already filled from what public research supports. You refine the rest.

1

You ask

“ve-fork the beachhead workbook for <product or URL>.” One sentence — that's the whole interface.

2

Claude fills it

It researches publicly, then seeds the matrices, defender scores, Munger pressure-test and Test Cards — marking guesses as guesses.

3

You get a tool

A self-contained workbook. Open it, edit any cell, and “Share my pick” exports the whole thing to a link.

The framework it fills

A kill-funnel, not a checklist.

At every layer the question is the same — what would kill this candidate? Weak ideas die early and cheap, so one defended pick survives.

L1 · Baylands

Pick the candidates

30+ ideas → 4 candidates, scored on Aulet's 12-cell matrix + Moore's 3 conditions.

L2 · Voje

Proximity test

Can we actually dominate this one in our planning horizon? A binary filter.

L3 · Solanki

Defender loyalty

Score 5 defenders × 5 metrics → a live Safe / Caution / Kill verdict.

L3.5 · Munger

Pressure-test the pick

Inversion, buyer-bias, incentives, opportunity cost, lollapalooza — the layer others miss.

L4 · Test Cards

Operationalize it

The chosen beachhead in one sentence + 3 testable cards for the next 6 weeks.

§5 · Checkpoints

Hold the line

3 / 6 / 12-month gates with success criteria and carried-forward risks.

Private by default

Yours, and only yours.

A forked workbook saves only to your browser — nothing is uploaded. The single thing that ever leaves your device is a “Share my pick” link, and only when you choose to make one. Runs the same in Claude chat, Cowork, and Claude Code.
