The Key Difference

Reforge — Master the frameworks of top product leaders.

Limitation: Optimizes for 'PM Thinking' and document writing. Doesn't produce executable specs for AI agents. Education, not execution.

Pathmode — Compile user evidence into structured IntentSpecs, deliver context to AI agents via MCP, and verify real-world impact when features ship.

Why Teams Switch to Pathmode

Stop just writing better docs. Start compiling better intent.
Give your AI agents structured context, not just prompts.
Move from theoretical frameworks to shipped reality.
Turn your product strategy into executable specs.
