The price of compliance
For each rule that the plan breaks but could meet, this shows what meeting it would add to the total and what would move.

This use case hasn't been run on this machine yet. To run it, use this command from the repository:
Simulated exactly, apart from the randomness of each reading. Every setting fits a real machine's published limits, but nothing ran on one.
Task A · regular data
Task B · quantum data
A quantum result only means something when it is compared with regular-computer rivals that get the same data, features and budget. These are the rules that every model ran under.
Simulated exactly. Every sweep is checked against a real machine's published limits, but nothing ran on one.
The stored patterns. A filled cell is an atom that should be on.
Capacity
One recall at a time
A memory made of atoms only means something when it is compared with the regular-computer network it is named after, on the same patterns and cues. These are the rules that every model ran under.
This inventory is an illustration. The systems, vendor dates, effort and weights are made up, while the obligation dates are as published.
Forced findings hold whatever the weights are, so they are evidence for an exception request, a vendor, or a budget. Conflicts need someone with authority to decide which rule gives way.
Formulation review
The plan above is proven for the numbers as written, so this review checks the numbers themselves. It looks for likely mistakes and shows how far each number can move before the answer changes. Vendor dates, effort, capacity and Q-day have no single tipping point, so the ones an agent says it made up are solved again one step each way. The engine computes all of this, and the Lens only lays it out.
What if
For each rule that the plan breaks but could meet, this shows what meeting it would add to the total and what would move.
The best plan's cost falls by this much if one wave gets extra effort points. A zero means that wave is not what limits the plan.
This lists each authority's rule, the systems it covers, and the weight this plan gives it. The organization chooses the weights, and the law does not set them.
These are small teaching sizes, simulated exactly and without device noise. The hash is real SHA-256, cut short.
This shows what protects a message today, the paper item it replaces, and which quantum algorithm decides whether it stays safe.

This is a demo with a planted flaw. The pipelines, labels and drift model are illustrations, and the device is simulated.
Pick any decision on the tape, or step through the flagged ones. This is what an auditor could say about it using only the log.
Every check uses only the decision log, with no access to the original pipeline, its code or its data.

Simulated gate-based computer
This is the same problem, run through a quantum circuit instead of checking every option. There is one qubit per item, and each reading returns one combination at random, with odds set by the circuit. Each extra layer gives the circuit another chance to raise the odds of answers with a low score.
Each row is one possible reading, where a filled cell is a qubit that read 1 (item on). A ✓ marks a best combination, and the number beside it is the score.
This map shows the average score (the expected energy) for every pair of the two dial angles, γ (cost) and β (mixer). Brighter means a lower score, which is better. The ring marks where the regular computer's tuning settled.
Simulated neutral-atom computer
There are no gates here. Each item gets one atom, and items that conflict are placed close together. A laser sweeps every atom from "off" toward "on", but two close atoms can't both switch on, which is called the Rydberg blockade. Because of that, the atoms settle into a set with no conflicts. Each atom's own laser setting, called its detuning, carries that item's weight. The program is checked against the published limits of QuEra's Aquila machine, and nothing was sent to real hardware.
Each rung is one score, which physicists call an energy level, and lower is better. The length of a bar shows how many combinations share that score. The gap between the bottom two rungs is the margin.
This is what the engine actually produced, along with the numbers a quantum machine would receive, which are called Ising coefficients. The Lens only displays them.

Each row moves one class to its cheapest other legal place and holds the rest still. The number is what that move costs, so a small margin means a near-tie and a large one means the placement is firm.
