Programme roadmap
Possible community experiences
These experiences are planned and are not currently available. If introduced, FUSE will announce the rules and any benefit before they begin.
Community challenges
A future challenge could give everyone a useful problem to solve together.
Shared unlocks
Any future milestone would explain its reward or programme benefit before it begins.
Igniter spotlights
A future spotlight could highlight excellent work for the community to learn from.
A place for experienced voices
The Forge Council
Eligible Igniters can suggest topics, discuss community needs and give structured feedback on future platform ideas. Meeting access appears only after an organiser publishes an event and confirms membership.
Share what is working
Bring patterns and problems from real community activity.
Shape useful changes
Review proposals and make practical suggestions.
Learn from peers
Exchange methods with other experienced contributors.
Invite-only access
Your workspace shows eligibility and confirmed meetings.
Know the offer before you take part
Split the Success
Some funded missions may include a financial reward. When one does, the mission or account flow shows the current terms, eligibility and status. Helpful Points remain a separate measure of reputation.
No hidden conversion
HP never turn into cash or shopping points.
Build a rhythm
The daily playbook
A light routine keeps contribution useful without turning the programme into another full-time dashboard.
Learn
Take one short Academy lesson when you need it.
Choose
Pick one brief that fits your experience and available time.
Create
Document the result once, clearly and honestly.
Follow through
Check feedback and make the requested improvement.
Bring your point of view to product discovery
Curate products with useful context
Where store features are enabled, use your profile to organise relevant products and explain why they fit a real need.
- Your focusChoose a clear audience or use case.
- Useful collectionsAdd context, compatibility and trade-offs.
- Transparent statusYour account shows what is available and approved.

Igniter Academy
Learn the part you need, when you need it
8 short, free lessons cover programme basics, strong evidence, useful recommendations and safe participation. No account is required to learn.
Explore the AcademyFrequently asked questions
A few things to know before you start
Clear answers about joining, Helpful Points and programme access.
Can I learn before joining Igniter?
Yes. The academy and getting-started guide are public. Lessons and quizzes work without an account. Progress is saved in this browser when storage is available; it is not synced to an account and does not award rewards.
How do I improve my HP?
Choose an open mission that matches your experience, follow its brief, provide original evidence and respond to reviewer feedback. Only approved account activity awards HP. Reading lessons, clicking links or repeating a submission does not automatically award points.
Are HP, shopping points and cash interchangeable?
No. HP determine your Igniter level and have no monetary value. Shopping points can provide FUSE credit on eligible orders when redemption is enabled. Cash is a separate reward offered only where an explicit funded campaign and account eligibility permit it.
When redemption is available, 100 shopping points equal €1 of FUSE credit. Checkout confirms what an eligible basket can use. Read the reward basics.
Does joining or learning cost anything?
These public lessons are free to use and do not start a paid subscription. A paid FUSE membership is a separate product; review its current price and benefits before subscribing.
How do I join the council meeting?
Open Forge Council in the Igniter workspace. An organiser must publish the actual meeting and approve your council membership before the private video link and attendance controls appear. Active Igniters can suggest topics for review. A subscription does not buy council access.
Why can I read the academy but not join or spend points?
Learning is available independently of programme participation. Applications, stores, missions and financial features have separate availability and eligibility requirements. Your workspace and checkout show what is available to your account.
