Private Beta Onboarding

Arrive ready to challenge the decision.

The beta is designed to test whether FlipForge makes identity, evidence, uncertainty, and the next step clearer. It is not a request to praise the interface or force every card into a recommendation.

The complete path

From application to measurable outcome.

Each stage has a purpose. Skipping identity or evidence review weakens the result and the later 7 / 14 / 30 comparison.

01Apply

Explain your card workflow, testing focus, and willingness to provide specific feedback.

02Selection review

FlipForge reviews fit, available capacity, product needs, and likely testing frequency.

03Activate access

Selected testers follow the invitation email to activate an authenticated account.

04Run one exact card

Start narrow: one exact identity, one listing, and evidence that can be challenged.

05Return at 7 / 14 / 30

Revisit saved reasoning and record what held, changed, or remained uncertain.

Before an invitation

Prepare one useful test case.

You do not need a large spreadsheet. One clearly identified card and one real decision is more useful than a pile of loosely matched examples.

Exact identityKnow the specific card

Record year, set, player, card number, parallel or insert, grader, and grade. Do not assume a seller title is correct.

Decision contextKnow what you are deciding

Buying, passing, comparing, tracking, or evaluating a grading scenario require different evidence.

Evidence boundarySeparate leads from proof

An active listing can start discovery, but it is not a completed sale and cannot become one through labeling.

First beta session

Complete the decision loop once.

The goal is not speed. The goal is to see where the system protects the decision, where it confuses you, and which explanation needs work.

StartSearch one exact card

Use Discover to identify a candidate while keeping the exact identity requirement visible.

EvaluateChallenge identity and evidence

Confirm what matches, what was excluded, and whether supported value should be withheld.

ExplainOpen the reasoning

Review Card Intelligence and Decision Traceback before accepting BUY CANDIDATE, WATCH, VERIFY, or PASS.

CompareTest the alternative

Compare saved decisions when a second candidate clarifies the tradeoff.

PreserveCreate the Decision Dossier

Save the evidence, uncertainty, recommendation state, and required next check.

RespondSend focused feedback

Describe the route, expected behavior, actual behavior, and why the difference matters.

Outcome evidence

What to record at each checkpoint.

The original decision stays fixed. Later evidence is compared with it rather than rewritten into hindsight.

Day 0Preserve the decision

Record recommendation state, confidence, evidence quality, liquidity, risk, exposure, and the reason trail.

Day 7Check early movement

Record listing status, new evidence, meaningful price movement, and unresolved identity questions.

Day 14Test the original logic

Note whether the evidence strengthened, weakened, or left the original state unchanged.

Day 30Classify the outcome

Use the supported outcome categories, including good call, bad call, correct avoid, missed opportunity, or insufficient time.

Tester boundaries

Protect the evidence and your account.

Beta feedback must never become a back door for secrets, private identifiers, or unsupported marketing claims.

FeedbackKeep reports sanitized

Do not submit passwords, access tokens, provider keys, tenant IDs, personal information, listing URLs, or identifying card details in the in-app feedback form.

AuthorityDecision support only

FlipForge does not authorize a bid, purchase, sale, payment, or guaranteed grading result.

ClaimsNo public accuracy percentage

Do not describe beta output as proven accuracy, guaranteed profit, fraud detection, or financial advice.
