The offer

The Creative Lock-In is a 21-day guided creative practice. The Founding Edition is $222, one payment, and includes the full 21-day experience, a private workspace, the optional Guide, three live group sessions, and a private group thread. You'll finish with one Creation Brief that you approve. The course doesn't produce a finished design, a sample, or a physical object, and it doesn't promise a launch, revenue, or commercial success.

The Gildform credits

Production Credit: you receive a $100 Gildform Production Credit that applies to a single Gildform production purchase of $1,000 or more. It can't be exchanged for cash or combined with another production credit.

AI credits: if you create your Gildform account within 30 days of your Lock-In payment, $100 worth of AI credits is loaded into that account. Accounts created after 30 days don't qualify. AI credits have no cash value.

The boundary

Product design, CAD, 3D modeling, samples, manufacturing, materials, taxes, and shipping aren't included. If you decide to make your idea with Gildform after the course, those services are priced separately and clearly before you commit.

Technical design, engineering, materials, costing, sampling, and production are separate engagements through Gildform and are never included in the course price. Nothing is sent to Gildform without your explicit authorization.

Access and replays

The Founding Edition starts November 28, 2026. Enrollment closes November 28, 2026. Days unlock as you finish them, not by the calendar. Live-session replays are posted in your workspace.

Refunds

If you decide the course is not for you before Day 1 begins, contact us for a full refund.

Once the edition has begun, refunds are considered case by case. Exporting your work is always available to you regardless.

Your work and your account

You own everything you create in the course. Your work is private by default. It's shared only when you choose to share a board, send your brief to Gildform, or let the Gildform team see a board. You can download your complete workbook and Creation Brief anytime and ask us to delete your account and data.

Shared boards

If you copy a public link to a board, anyone with the link can see that board until you turn the link off. If you let the Gildform team see a board, they may view it to help you make your idea real. Gildform will only feature your board publicly with your separate permission and with credit to you.

AI and images

The Guide is optional and the method works fully with it switched off. It receives only the references you explicitly share with it.

Photo uploads require your confirmation that you own the photo or have permission to use it. Uploaded photos are stored privately and never used to train an AI system without your express written permission.
