Proof over pitches
Proofground surfaces shipped evidence, usage feedback, and quality validation instead of rewarding presentation alone.
About Proofground
A private market for proof-of-build.
Proofground is an independent product discovery lab. It connects MVP teams with serious early users, turns structured testing into public evidence, and helps promising products earn attention.

Support is gated
Product support is considered only after enough signal exists from real usage and structured testing.
Credentials should travel
Every experiment report is designed to be shareable proof backed by product evidence, not a decorative badge.
Verified Product Experiment
The report communicates that a builder shipped and tested a real product with visible evidence. The claims stay narrow: what was built, who used it, what happened, and what changed.

Product support status
Credential levels can evolve from Shipped to Deployed, Verified Builder, and Supported Builder as project evidence improves.
