Forge ad lab: round 2

Generated 2026-10-14 19:51 UTC on PC2 (Liquid LFM2.5) at $0. Nothing is live, drafted, or spent. Text cards show the original image briefs; the five shortlisted angles now also have real stills and videos in the creatives section below.

How we are doing this

1. Angles from winners

Each angle is a product mechanism from Forge's own winning organic formats: one-muscle explainers, add-weight progression, planned today, stall/gap easing, busy-gym swaps. Explainers earn roughly 10x the views of other formats in Forge's ledger.

2. Liquid writes, rules drop

One batch per angle. Primary text is fixed inside a batch; only the hook (headline + image idea) varies, after the chad-ai playbook. A rule gate drops banned copy: no AI mention, no before/after bodies, no fake testimonials, no invented counts.

3. You pick, then a real test judges

Scores only prune; on our own past ads the scorer ranked at chance. The shortlist keeps one ad per angle on purpose. Learning starts only if a paid test ever runs and per-ad clicks are logged.

Shortlist: one per angle
