CREATOR & FOUNDRY
Bring the idea. Leave with a buildable product path.
為擁有設計、角色、IP、產品構想或真實受眾的人,建立從構想到製造、包裝與市場驗證的路徑。
For creators, founders and audience-builders with something worth making—and the discipline to turn it into something that can actually exist.
ROPE hardware and carrier engineering drawing — designed and engineered in-house. A design drawing, not a product photograph.
第一步不需要上傳機密檔案。
Start with non-confidential information only.
Entry recognition
What are you bringing?
先認出自己帶來的是什麼,路徑才會對。
A Character or IP
角色、圖形、故事或視覺系統,希望成為真實商品。
A Product Idea
對使用情境、功能或材料已有明確想法,但尚未進入工程。
An Audience Signal
擁有真實受眾,並且知道受眾為什麼會需要這個產品。
A Designed Object
已經有草圖、模型或初步設計,需要製造、包裝與上架路徑。
送出一個想法,代表我們會判斷它;不代表它一定會被接受、製造、投資或銷售。
Submitting an idea means we will assess it. It does not mean it will be accepted, manufactured, funded or sold.
Foundry path
From idea to a buildable product path.
一條線性路徑,每一格完成才進下一格。
Idea
構想與使用情境。一段語音、一張草圖、一個問題都算。
The idea and where it would be used. A voice note, a sketch or a question is enough.
Product Definition
商品邊界、材料、尺寸與目標。決定它到底是什麼、不是什麼。
Boundaries, materials, dimensions and target — what the object is, and what it is not.
Engineering
結構、配件、包裝與製造文件。寫成工廠看得懂、報得出價的東西。
Structure, hardware, packaging and the manufacturing documents a factory can quote from.
Taiwan Making
匹配合適的台灣製造能力。能不能做、願不願意做,都會如實回報。
Matching suitable Taiwanese manufacturing capability — including when the answer is that no one will take it.
Shelf & Market
樣品、驗證、貨架與市場入口。先做出真的東西,再用最小規模測反應。
Samples, validation, shelf and market entry — a real object first, then a minimum-scale test.
這是工作路徑,不是結果保證。每一格都可能得到「現在不應該生產」這個結論。
This is a working path, not a guarantee of outcome. Any node can end in “not yet”, with the reason attached.
Buildability first
We do not decorate ideas. We test whether they can become products.
我們不美化想法,我們測試它能不能成為產品。
一個構想進入 Foundry 後,我們會逐步判斷:
- 誰會需要它
- 為什麼會購買
- 能不能製造
- 應該使用什麼材料與結構
- 包裝如何解釋它
- 第一批應該驗證什麼
- 哪些部分目前仍然只是推測
如果路徑成立,就繼續工程。如果不成立,也會明確說明阻礙在哪裡。
If the path holds, engineering continues. If it does not, we say exactly where it breaks.
Five honest conclusions
一個想法進來,可能得到五種結論
Product|Content|Brand|Test|Not yet
- Product — 可被製造、可被定價、可被放上貨架。
- Content — 需求還沒被證明,先用內容養出人。
- Brand — 不只一支商品,而是一個能長出系列的名字。
- Test — 用最小的量驗證最不確定的假設。
- Not yet — 現在不應該被生產,並寫清楚缺什麼。
We do not promise success. We promise a next step you can actually write down.
Existing evidence
Designed through the same discipline.
同一套紀律做出來的東西,已經在這個站上。
Designed and engineered in-house
ROPE is Authentic Taiwan’s own design brand, designed and engineered in-house — the characters and the copy, then the object itself: one continuous rope, a memory-wire core, a printed face panel always half-covered by the rope, a single matte-black clasp, an integral moulded loop and a vertical word tag.
三十款設計,每一款是一條繩子繞成一個真的結——水手結、攀岩結、漁人結、記數結。每一款新設計是一個新的結,不是一個新的模具。
這對你的想法代表什麼
Creator & Foundry 把同一套紀律用在新的想法上:先把物件定義清楚,把限制攤開,只做能夠往現實移動的那一段。
Creator & Foundry applies the same discipline to new ideas: define the object, expose the constraints and build only what can move toward reality.
已經做出來的公仔 · Four of the thirty that already exist
這一段只陳述站上已經公開、可被查證的 ROPE 事實。我們不列出量產數量、銷售數量、合作創作者人數或成功率。
This section states only ROPE facts already published on this site. No production volumes, sales figures, creator counts or success rates are claimed.
Capability and boundary
Where the Foundry is useful—and where it is not.
我們有用的地方,和我們沒用的地方。
- Turning a character or graphic into a manufacturable product · 把一個角色或圖像變成可被製造的產品
- Hardware, materials and carrier engineering · 硬體、材料與載體工程
- Hangtags, backer cards and retail packaging · 吊卡、襯卡與零售包裝
- Finding a Taiwanese maker who may be able to produce it · 尋找可能做得出來的台灣製造商
- Preparing a path toward listing through the Authentic Taiwan store once the product exists and is approved · 產品存在並通過審核之後,準備透過 Authentic Taiwan 上架的路徑
- Funding the project up front · 先出資替你把專案做起來
- Guaranteed volume before demand exists · 在需求出現前保證量
- Registering or defending the creator’s IP · 替你註冊或主張智慧財產權
- Guaranteed manufacturing acceptance · 保證有工廠承接
- Guaranteed listing or sales · 保證上架或銷售
- Anything that would have to be overstated to make the project sound ready · 任何需要誇大才說得好聽的事
Please send only what you are comfortable sharing. Do not send confidential material in a first message. Authentic Taiwan will say if more information is needed and under what terms.
只寄你願意公開的內容;第一封訊息請不要放機密資料。若後續需要更多,我們會說明需要什麼、以及在什麼條件下提供。
Choose your lane
你目前站在哪裡
Where you are standing today — pick the entry that matches, not the one that sounds best.
我有一個還沒完成的想法
還沒有成品、沒有工廠、可能連形態都還不確定。先做 Idea Map,拿到路線卡。
An unfinished idea, no prototype, no factory. Start with the Idea Map.
我已經有產品
要一份可製造、可上架的完整包裝工程規格:內盒、外箱、識別層、每箱入數。
You have a product and need a manufacturable, shelf-ready specification.
我有產能,想接案子
登錄產能與品保,核驗後配對已經設計完成的專案,收到報價邀請。
Register capacity and QA; get matched to projects that are already designed.
我想直接擁有一個品牌
不從零開始,而是承接或收購一個已經有結構的品牌。
Acquire or adopt a brand that already has structure, instead of starting from zero.
若你有零售場域或通路,走 For Business 的專業洽談入口。 · If you have a retail space or channel, use the For Business enquiry entry.
Idea Map
Tell us what you want to make.
Show us the idea, the intended user and what already exists. A first submission should establish fit—not disclose confidential material.
送出後會發生什麼:
- 送件會以一組編號(AT-IDEA-XXXXXXXX)建檔,並即時產出你的 Idea Path Card。
Submission is recorded with a reference number, and a routing card is issued on screen. - 紀錄存入受保護的專案資料庫,只有管理端可讀;未登入者讀不到任何一筆。
The record is stored in a protected database that anonymous readers cannot query. - 人工檢視後回覆這個想法能不能進入設計與打樣,包含「不行」這個答案。
Authentic Taiwan replies on whether the idea can enter design and sampling, including when the answer is no.
目前狀態:站上尚未接通交易信件供應商,因此系統不會寄出確認信,頁面也不宣稱已寄出。請自行保留畫面上的編號,下方可用「編號+Email」隨時查詢進度。
No transactional email provider is connected yet, so no confirmation email is sent and none is claimed. Keep your reference; look it up below at any time.

Cost position
費用口徑
What is priced, what is free, and what is honestly not decided yet.
Idea Map 與形態判斷
送出 Idea Map、取得 Idea Path Card、以及第一輪形態判斷不收費。
Idea Map, path card and the first form assessment are free.
Product Onboarding
已有產品要做規格化時的正式入口,走 SIGHTREAD Product Rendering,站上現行公告價。
The priced entry for specifying an existing product.
低門檻 Work Ticket
單項小工作的計價方式為 BLOCKED BY BUSINESS DECISION。定價未定案前不放假的付款鈕、也不編造金額。
Per-task pricing is not decided. No placeholder price, no fake checkout.
Confidentiality & IP
機密與智慧財產的處理方式
How confidential material and IP are handled here.
第一步不需要機密資訊
Idea Map 只問形態層級的問題。配方、圖檔原稿、成本明細、客戶名單都不要放進第一封訊息。
The Idea Map asks form-level questions only. Keep formulas, source files, cost sheets and customer lists out of a first message.
需要保密時才進保密流程
若後續需要進入需保密的資料交換,會走會員工作區既有的 NDA 與 Data Room 流程,並先說明條件。該流程目前為框架設計階段。
Confidential exchange runs through the member workspace NDA and data-room flow, which is currently at framework stage.
我們不代你註冊或主張權利
商標與專利的申請、維護與主張,屬於你自己或你的法律顧問。我們可以指出時程上的先後關係,但不提供法律意見。
Registration, maintenance and enforcement of IP remain yours. We do not provide legal advice.
誰擁有產出
共同開發過程中的權利歸屬,以個案書面約定為準,並在開工前寫清楚。沒有寫進約定的,就當作沒有約定。
Ownership of co-development output is set case by case in writing, before work starts.
FAQ
常見問題
我只有一個念頭,連草圖都沒有,可以送嗎?
可以。第 01 格接受一段語音、一句話或一個問題。Idea Map 的九個問題就是用來把它拆開的。
會不會有人拿走我的點子?
第一步刻意只收非機密資訊,所以你不需要先信任我們。要進入需要保密的階段時,會先走 NDA 流程並說明條件。
送出後多久會有回覆?
Idea Path Card 是當場產出的。人工形態判斷的回覆時間會依當期件量而定;站上不承諾未經驗證的時效。
為什麼沒有收到確認信?
因為站上尚未接通交易信件供應商,系統目前不寄信、也不宣稱有寄。請保留畫面上的編號,用「編號+Email」查詢進度。
Creator & Foundry 和 SIGHTREAD Product Rendering 有什麼不同?
Creator & Foundry 處理「還不知道它該是什麼」的階段;SPR 處理「已經知道它是什麼、要把它規格化」的階段。前者判斷形態,後者產出規格書。
影片什麼時候會上?
Hero 的影片區已建置完成並保留給正式影片;目前狀態為尚未交付,因此顯示的是正式設計的靜態畫面,而不是佔位的空框。頁面不依賴影片就能完整運作。
