Forgesign
A pipeline-neutral release evidence service that preserves artifact digests, signatures, attestations, software bills of materials, policy findings and verification pages without claiming that cryptographic provenance equals regulatory conformity.
The supplied research confirms production-ready free signing, attestation and software-bill-of-materials primitives, plus built-in repository-host attestations. That weakens any moat in generating the artifacts themselves. Forgesign's plausible value is the workflow wrapper: multi-platform collection, release-to-evidence binding, policy review, portable verification, retention and conformity-document relationships. The originating regulatory deadline supports timing, but the product must say readiness rather than compliance and leave legal applicability and conformity assessment to qualified authority.
The platform engineering, product security, release engineering, or compliance team that must produce durable software-release provenance across multiple pipelines.
Collection, verification, pages, policy and retention scale through software.
A simple install must preserve trustworthy builders, keyless identity, policy nuance and legal boundaries.
Primitives are mature, but the record does not show why the workflow could not be built earlier.
The release event, clear enterprise owner, regulatory timing and mature primitives support a fast workflow product.
The core capability is free, repository platforms already provide attestations, and neither legal conformity nor a structural incumbent gap is proven.
