Forward Edge AI will operate a pre-order portal during Phase III where competing teams can publish product listings, collect real consumer pre-orders, and earn Market Viability points based on total confirmed demand.

Consumers may place pre-orders before app store approval, with a portion of each purchase held in escrow and released only after the app is approved and available through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or both.

Phase III scoring rewards teams that demonstrate the strongest market demand, while audit procedures, fraud prevention measures, and escrow controls help ensure fair competition and support future commercialization opportunities.
