ONE FOUNDATION. A LONGER VISION.

Build the codex. Earn the trust.

A focused launch first. Every phase has a concrete delivery boundary, with source reliability ahead of feature count.

01FOUNDATION

A reliable starting point

Census research, a premium visual identity, filtered character search, basic inspection, bounded pagination, cached requests and a transparent data guide.

Delivery gate: Current private foundation. Public launch requires a registered Census service ID, operational load testing and naming review.

02PLANNED

A deeper character inspection

Reviewed feat and item catalogs, dated player submissions, screenshot uploads, artifact configurations and explicit evidence labels.

Delivery gate: Ship after catalog provenance, upload moderation and per-user access controls pass review.

03PLANNED

Progress with context

Side-by-side comparisons, observed CR/SP history, shared builds and artifact comparisons with stated assumptions.

Delivery gate: Only compare values with compatible sources and dates. Never backfill fictional history or declare a universal best build.

04PLANNED

A community with trust

Player accounts, favorites, saved builds, league profiles and scoped rankings. A time-bound in-game challenge plus human review supports character claims.

Delivery gate: No name-only ownership claims. Add expiry, disputes, moderation, privacy and account deletion before enabling claims.

05PLANNED

Sustainable premium tools

Extended history, deeper analytics, profile customization and league management. A $3.99 monthly plan is a pricing hypothesis to validate.

Delivery gate: Keep core search and basic inspection free. Payments wait until the core product is reliable and players find recurring value.

The realistic first release

Search by character name, server, faction, power and minimum CR/SP; open a stable character URL; inspect returned statistics and raw IDs; understand timestamps and missing data. No required game login, speculative artifact ratings or unreliable global rankings.
