Discovered product capabilities (pending fixture test / edge incubation)
Recorded capability · Not yet scoredThese capabilities have been identified on the product but have not yet undergone fixed-fixture testing. When an emerging capability co-occurs across multiple products, it incubates a new task edge.
Tested task edges (with scores and native artifacts) are strictly separated from discovered untested capabilities (unscored).

Standard monthly is USD 21.95/month promotional (regular USD 24.99/month, 300 credits/month). The yearly promo banner displays only "7.66 USD per month" (3,000 credits/year) without printing the annual invoice total before login, so the annual total is marked unverified.
