CHERT Think Tank
العربية Create account

Open-source training & venture platform

Real customer work, built by students. Credited as ownership.

CHERT Think Tank turns real demand for software into training, and trained builders into founders. Claim a request, build it in a browser workspace, test it on a real Android or iPhone, ship it through review — and every delivery becomes the next cohort’s curriculum.

Three ways in

Whoever you are, there is a door for you

Customers bring real needs. Students turn them into skills. Founders turn skills into companies. One platform carries all three.

I need software built

Describe it. It is classified, scored and routed — to maintainers when it must be production-grade, to students when it is a good thing to learn on.

I want to learn to build

Claim a real request, get a workspace in one click, ship a pull request and have a mentor review it. Not exercises — the actual backlog.

I want to found a company

Build a startup on contributed skill instead of capital. The Inpower ledger records every contribution, and shares follow the work.

The request lifecycle

Every request follows the same journey — from a customer’s need to a student’s equity.

Ten recorded stages. Every one is an event with an actor, a time and a reason. Select a stage to see what happens — and which parts of CHERT make it work.

Stage 01 / 10

Request

A customer describes the need

The request arrives on the public board with acceptance criteria and urgency, and gets its permanent CHERT-REQ number.

Stage 02 / 10

Triage & score

Classified and scored for teaching value

The Board sets the track, a difficulty tier from 1 to 5 and the skills involved, and scores how much a student would learn from it.

Powered by

Stage 03 / 10

Route

Production or student track

Work that must be production-grade goes to maintainers; work that is good to learn on goes to students, gated by tier.

Stage 06 / 10

Test on devices

Real Android and iPhone, from the browser

From the editor: run integration tests on the iOS simulator, launch the app with hot reload, or install it on the Android emulator.

Stage 07 / 10

Review

A mentor reads the pull request

The pull request opens on the Tank; CI posts its result; the mentor reviews and can join the live workspace to help.

Stage 08 / 10

Merge & deliver

The customer gets what they asked for

The change is merged, tagged and released; the customer is notified on their original request.

Stage 09 / 10

Freeze into curriculum

The work becomes training

The workspace, criteria and feedback are frozen into a scenario. Every shipped request teaches the next cohort — automatically.

Stage 10 / 10

Credit & equity

A badge, and points on the ledger

The student earns a verifiable badge. In a startup record, the task's points land on the Inpower ledger, where shares follow the work.

Interactive architecture

Every layer of the Think Tank — and the CHERT component that runs it

Select any component to learn what it does, or play a user journey and watch a request move through the platform.

Select a component or play a journey.
01

Demand & people

Real requests from real customers, and the people who turn them into work.

02

Build & create

Where the work is actually done — code, design and media, in the browser.

03

Test & ship

Every change runs on real devices and real pipelines before it reaches a customer.

04

Learn & own

Shipped work becomes curriculum; contribution becomes ownership.

S

Identity & isolation

One sign-in, sealed workspaces, nothing shared by accident.

A

AI & operations

Assistants inside the editor, and a platform that checks itself.

Details appear in the panel above the diagram.

One platform, many engines

Everything a team needs to build, test and ship — in the browser

Each engine does one job well. One sign-in carries you across all of them.

The equity ledger

Inpower

Contribution becomes ownership on an append-only, event-sourced record; shares are derived, never typed.

Why CHERT Think Tank

Built so that work, learning and ownership stay connected

Real work, not exercises

Students learn on the live backlog of real customers, reviewed by mentors and delivered for real.

Every delivery teaches

Shipped requests are frozen into scenarios automatically — the curriculum grows with every customer.

Ownership you can prove

Equity is derived from an append-only history: every point traces to a task, a time and an approver.

Self-hosted and sovereign

The whole platform runs on its own servers — forge, editors, devices, AI models and backups. No third-party cloud.

Arabic and English, equally

Every engine speaks both languages, with proper Arabic typography and right-to-left layouts where they belong.

Nothing to install

Editor, forge, Android and iPhone all run in the browser — a laptop, or a tablet, is enough.

Your first real request is waiting.

Create an account — CHERT reviews it and activates the right role: customer, student, mentor or founder.
