Problem

A company must show that staff read the security policy. The evidence is an email from 2023 and a hope. When it matters, in an audit or after an incident, there is no record of who saw what.

Why now

Nothing changed. Policy attestation is a well-served feature inside HR platforms.

Solution

Publish the policy, get an attestation per person per version, and chase the ones who have not. When the policy changes, everyone re-attests to the new version rather than the old one silently standing.

Who it is for

A small company with attestation duties and no HR system. The evidence that staff read the security policy is an email from 2023 and a hope, and the moment it matters, during an audit or after an incident, there is no record of who saw which version. The gap is discovered at exactly the point it cannot be fixed.

What you could earn from Noticeboard

Say you build Noticeboard and charge your own customers $19 a month, the price the score suggests. The numbers below are the revenue that would come from them. This is money you earn, never a fee you pay UpgradIQ, and we never take a cut. It is arithmetic off the price, not a promise the customers arrive on their own.

Your build kit for Noticeboard

Start the build and the kit opens two steps in, then drip-feeds the rest one phase at a time. Every phase is a copy-paste prompt for your agent with its own verification before the next unlocks, so Noticeboard moves from an empty folder to a running MVP without you ever holding the whole plan in your head.

Progress saves across every device, and the workspace always reopens on the exact step you left, so a build that runs over several weeks survives them instead of dying in a browser tab you eventually close.

How you actually build it

Connect your coding agent once. It pulls the current phase straight from your kit over MCP: the exact prompt, the outcome to aim for, and the check to run before it moves on. You review and ship, it does the typing.

No copy-paste juggling, no thread to lose. The kit stays the single source of truth, and your agent works through it one phase at a time, verifying its own work at each step before the next phase is unlocked.

Start free, run phase 1Free account, no card. The first phase prompt unlocks the moment you start, right in your workspace.

Phase 3 of 10: Scaffold the stack
Outcome: The project builds, runs locally, and its health route answers 200.
Check: Run the dev server. `curl` the health route and show the 200. Run the build and show it passing with zero type errors. Confirm `.env` is gitignored: `git status` must not list it.

Take the context file, free

This is the AGENTS.md that keeps your coding agent on scope for the entire build: what Noticeboard is, who it is for, the stack, the non-goals, and the rules it must follow. Copy it into your project now, no account needed, and your agent is briefed before you write a line.

# Noticeboard

The policy everyone actually read

## What this is
Publish the policy, get an attestation per person per version, and chase the ones who have not. When the policy changes, everyone re-attests to the new version rather than the old one silently standing.

## The problem it solves
A company must show that staff read the security policy. The evidence is an email from 2023 and a hope. When it matters, in an audit or after an incident, there is no record of who saw what.

## Who it is for
A small company with attestation duties and no HR system. The evidence that staff read the security policy is an email from 2023 and a hope, and the moment it matters, during an audit or after an incident, there is no record of who saw which version. The gap is discovered at exactly the point it cannot be fixed.

## Stack
Next.js + Postgres

## Non-goals
Do not build features outside the core job above. This product exists to do one
thing well. Every extra feature is a reason it does not ship.


## Rules for the agent
- Build one phase at a time. Do not run ahead into later phases.
- Validate input at every boundary where data enters.
- Never put a permission or plan check in client code.
- Ask before adding a dependency that a few lines would cover.
- If something is ambiguous, say so rather than inventing a requirement.

The path to a running MVP

Phases 1-4

Foundation

Scaffold the stack, then wire the data model and sign-in. It is the skeleton Noticeboard stands on, and it goes up in an evening rather than a lost week of config.

Phases 5-6

The product

Build the core feature end to end, then wire how it charges. This is where Noticeboard finally turns into something that a stranger will actually pay you for.

Phases 7-10

Ship it

Test and harden, deploy it live, then open the launch-day toolkit that lands the first ten users who prove it.

Frequently asked

Is Noticeboard actually validated?

It scored UIQ 72 with a CAUTION verdict, weighed across eight sub-scores on the same rubric as every idea. GO means 75 and above, so demand and buildability were judged, not guessed.

What stack does it use?

Noticeboard is built on Next.js + Postgres, chosen because a coding agent can carry most of it. You are not fighting infrastructure, you are shipping the feature that matters.

How long to a running MVP?

The kit is ten phases, drip-fed one at a time so you always know the single next step. An evening and a weekend for the lighter builds, a few focused weeks for the deeper ones.

What does the $19 a month mean?

It is the price the model suggests Noticeboard could charge its own customers, not a fee to us. It is here so the money question is answered before you build, not after.

Which agent do I need?

Any capable coding agent: Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, or Bolt. Every phase is a copy-paste prompt with its own check, so the agent does the typing and you keep the judgement.

What is free versus Pro?

The whole case above is free: the problem, timing, solution, buyer, and the full score. Pro adds how it makes money, the one risk that could kill it, and the full kit that carries Noticeboard from an empty folder to a running MVP.
