What we're building, right now

The always-current answer to what we're building and why — where the attention is, what ships next, and the roadmap behind both.

As of

This page updates as part of the weekly rhythm — when the focus changes, the page changes with it.

Focus now

The content-platform build-out

A slate of public surfaces ratified on 2026-07-30 and built in two waves: free calculators, primary-source datasets, the plain-English Explained library, a shipping log, and this page. Every surface gets standing attention in the weekly workflow, and nothing counts as shipped until it is reachable within two clicks of the homepage.

The audited-research spine

Research that carries receipts: calls pre-registered and sealed before the print, then scored in public; a primary record for the claims behind the work; datasets built from primary sources. The standard is work you can check, not work you have to take on faith.

Roadmap

Free instruments stay free — things on this list get built when demand pulls them, and every ship lands on the shipping log.

Next

  • Embeddable calculator widgets

    Every calculator gets an embed route with minimal chrome and a built-by-MenFem attribution link, plus a copy-the-snippet block on its tool page.

  • Decision-tree pickers

    A shared decision engine and two pickers — API vs cloud GPU vs local, and a GPU picker by use-case and budget tier. Pure logic, nothing that can go stale.

  • Token-price tracker dataset

    Dated price snapshots with a changelog and cite block at /datasets/token-prices. Only verified prints enter — it ships as "first snapshot pending" before it ships an invented number.

  • Glossary auto-linking in articles

    The first mention of a known Explained term links to its entry automatically.

  • Homepage surfacing and primary navigation

    A new-on-the-shelf homepage module fed by the registries; Tools, Explained, and Datasets join the header nav; every new route enters the sitemap, site search, and feeds.

  • Production acceptance battery

    Cache headers, TTFB baseline, and behavioural spot-checks run against production after each wave ships — marked done only after verification on the real infrastructure.

Soon

  • Saved tool state for Pro members

    Scoping only for now — it needs a database migration before any build starts.

Later

  • Per-test eval-lab result pages

    The methodology page comes first as the foundation; individual test result pages build on top of it.

  • Provider terms index

    Deliberately parked — it comes back only by an explicit decision, not by drift.

This page looks forward. The other half of the story is the shipping log: what already landed.
