Your trial

When Borg sets up a trial for your organisation, Odin adds a short setup path on top of the normal product. There’s a five-step wizard, four example findings to practise on, a checklist in the sidebar, and a guided tour. This page covers all of that, and what changes once the trial is over.

​

The setup wizard

Until the wizard has been finished or skipped, an Owner or Admin who opens Odin is taken to it at /welcome instead of Home. Members go straight to Home. They still get the sidebar checklist, but not the wizard. The wizard has five steps, listed in a rail down the left of the screen:

1. Welcome, which shows your plan and how many trial credits you have
2. Add an asset
3. Connect GitHub
4. Invite your team
5. Done

The bottom of the rail shows your remaining trial credits (for example 800 of 800), a chip with the days left in the trial, and Skip. You can reopen any step you’ve already moved past from the rail, so you can go back and finish something you skipped. Each of the three setup steps has an I’ll do this later link, and Skip in the rail leaves the wizard entirely. You don’t lose anything: whatever you skip stays on the sidebar checklist. The Done step lists what happened during the wizard: the asset you added, the GitHub connection, any review you started, and how many invites went out. From there you can:

• Take the tour — start the guided tour
• Open Assets — see what discovery has found so far on the Assets page
• Talk to us — open a chat with the Borg team
• Open Odin — go to Home

If you skipped every step, the Done step says so and offers Open Odin and Restart setup instead. Skip, and every Done-step option apart from Talk to us, marks the wizard as complete. After that it does not open automatically. Owners and Admins can reopen it with Restart setup on the sidebar checklist or Restart setup wizard in the command palette. You must verify your identity by passkey or email code unless your recent verification is still valid. Cancelling verification leaves setup unchanged. Restart opens the first step and clears completion for the whole organisation, so other Owners and Admins are also taken to setup until someone finishes or skips it again. It preserves the other setup tasks and does not restore dismissed examples. Members and Viewers have no restart action.

​

Example findings

A new trial organisation has nothing in Findings until discovery and your first reviews have run. So the first time an Owner or Admin opens the wizard, Odin adds four example findings for you to learn the triage flow on. They range from High to Low severity and sit at different points in the status lifecycle. Every one carries an Example badge and a title starting with “Example:”, and a banner above the findings table explains what they are. Status changes on an example are practice only. Move one through triage and the finding says so, with the note “Practice mode — status changes on examples don’t stick”. Nothing is saved. Anything that would reach a real system is switched off. You can’t push an example to Linear, Jira or GitHub, export it, or ask for a retest, so there is no way to file a ticket from fake data. The discussion thread does work, and you can post to it. Those comments are saved only in your browser on this device and are never shared. The examples are removed automatically once your first real findings arrive. You can also remove them earlier with Dismiss examples on the banner, which needs the Member role or higher. Dismissing removes all four for everyone in the organisation and cannot be undone. Restarting setup does not bring them back.

​

The sidebar checklist

At the bottom of the sidebar, a Trial setup panel tracks six tasks and shows how many are done: Each row links to the page where you’d do the work. A task on a page your organisation can’t open is hidden rather than shown as a dead link. Underneath, Take the tour lets you start the tour again. Owners and Admins also have Restart setup, with the identity verification and organisation-wide effect described above. When the trial is close to ending, the panel adds a prompt to choose a plan, with the days left and the credits you’ve used. This happens within 48 hours of the trial end date, or once you have less than a fifth of your trial credits left. After the trial ends, the prompt changes to Trial ended · choose your plan. The panel is only shown during the trial. Choosing a plan ends the trial, so the panel goes away.

​

The guided tour

The tour is a seven-step walkthrough of the triage flow, using the example findings. It covers:

1. The Findings list
2. Opening a finding
3. Moving a finding through triage
4. The discussion thread
5. Sending a finding to your issue tracker
6. The credits and progress on Home
7. The sidebar checklist

Steps on pages your organisation can’t open are left out. Start it from Take the tour on the checklist, from the wizard’s Done step, or from Continue tour in the command palette. Press Escape or select Skip tour to leave. Odin remembers where you stopped in this browser. Next time you start the tour, it asks whether to continue from that step or restart from the beginning. Once you finish the tour, the wizard’s Take the tour option won’t start it again in this browser. Take the tour on the checklist still starts it from the beginning.

​

When the trial ends

A trial ends on whichever comes first: the trial end date passing, or the trial credits running out. A banner then appears across the workspace, titled Your trial has ended or You’ve used all your trial credits. The workspace becomes read-only. Your findings, assets and configuration all stay visible, but new scans, reviews and most other changes are blocked until someone chooses a plan. View trial summary on the banner opens a summary of what the trial produced:

• Assets discovered, and how many are continuously monitored
• Security findings, by severity
• PR reviews completed, and the findings they raised
• Pentests completed
• Credits used, out of the credits granted
• Credits remaining

Choose a plan on the banner, or Choose a plan to continue on the summary, takes you to Billing. Nothing is deleted in the meantime, so choosing a plan puts you back exactly where you were.
