[03] First clear win

Twice the starting Runs.

QA.army gives every new Workspace 10 initial free Runs. TesterArmy documents 5 Runs per month on its first team. The renewal periods differ, so this comparison is specifically about how many Runs a new team can use to prove the workflow at the start.

[04] QA.army difference

One global Workspace for QA.

A coding agent, engineer, or QA lead should not reconstruct product context from isolated runs. QA.army keeps the durable hierarchy—Workspace, Project, Test Group, Test, and Run—inside one shared boundary.

“Global Workspace” is a product-design metaphor informed by Anthropic's 2026 Jacobian-lens research, which describes a compact J-space that broadcasts representations across a model. QA.army does not claim to implement the Jacobian lens; it applies the shared-workspace idea to operational QA context.
