On June 3, 2025, Forged Operations was accepted into the Google for Startups Cloud Program, gaining access to Google Cloud infrastructure credits, technical mentorship, and resources to accelerate the development of our AI-native quality platform for the nuclear industry.
The program provides Forged Operations with the Google Cloud compute and AI infrastructure needed to train, deploy, and scale the models that power Forged AI, the system that reads across supplier qualifications, NCRs, document revisions, training records, and audit evidence to surface compliance issues before they become findings.
"The scale of what we're building requires serious infrastructure," said Greg Barnes, CTO of Forged Operations. "Google Cloud gives us the AI and data tooling to build the kind of deep, traceable intelligence that nuclear quality programs demand, not just retrieval, but genuine reasoning across complex interconnected records."
Forged Operations is building the operating system for nuclear quality, a single platform that connects supplier qualification, document control, NCRs, inspection and test plans, training records, and audit readiness with full traceability. The platform supports NQA-1, CSA N299, CSA N286, ISO 19443, ASME Section III, and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B.
