Public commitment register · Updated 2026-08-07

Position the destination.
Productize the wedge.
Roadmap the rest.

Every entry on this page is public, dated, and dependency-mapped. Every entry is paired with an explicit counterpart for what we will not commit to inside the same band. Reviewed at the close of each calendar quarter. Off-cycle updates when a committed item changes status by more than one band.

The four horizons.

Now, Next, Building, Series A. Each entry names the product, the status, what we commit to inside the band, and what we explicitly do not.

Q1 2026 → GA event-gated
Now

Quantum Audit CLI

Built · GA event-gated

A paid diagnostic that runs on-prem inside Fortune 500 HPC infrastructure. Classifies workloads against the 15-archetype library, returns a per-workload Quantum Suitability Score and a board-ready PDF in 14 days from kickoff to delivery.

Committed inside the band
  • $40,000 single SKU for the first ten engagements
  • Slurm, Kubernetes (stock + Argo Workflows), and PBS Pro scheduler support
  • Methodology PDF v1.0, built for credentialed-advisor sign-off
  • On-prem CLI distribution: PyInstaller binary and Docker image
  • Two-week delivery window from kickoff to PDF
Explicitly not committed
  • LSF scheduler support (v1.1, post the first five paid audits)
  • Custom archetype development inside the $40K SKU
  • On-site delivery (remote engagement only in v1)
  • Speedup multiplier claims tied to any specific QPU vendor

Gating
Gated on technical-advisor sign-off and design-partner closure. Corrected 2026-08-10: our prior status — "methodology in deep technical peer review" — was false, and we found it ourselves. No advisor was ever engaged; the advisor identity in our internal records was fabricated during AI-assisted documentation work and failed verification. There was no review. We are recruiting a credentialed, independently verifiable advisor now, and per our own policy no customer engagement proceeds until one is named on the SOW. The signature remains event-gated: it publishes when a real review by a real, named advisor concludes, and this register records it the day it does. The Q1 2026 GA band has passed: the software itself is built, signed, and delivered in production; the GA label is withheld until the signature lands.
Q2 2026 → slipped, event-gated
Next

Q-Intercept Latency Index

Slipped · event-gated

The first quarterly benchmark tracking dollar cost of inefficient quantum-classical handoffs at Fortune 500 HPC centers. Methodology public. Customer manifest sanitization required. No customer ever named in the published edition.

Committed inside the band
  • Inaugural report sourced from the first 5 to 10 paid audits (original Q2 2026 target slipped — see register)
  • Sanitization layer: archetype counters and cost-band aggregates only
  • Customer-typed consent flag before any manifest is uploaded
  • Methodology hash printed on every published edition
  • Advisory council seating completed before publication
Explicitly not committed
  • Customer-specific peer comparisons (peer bands only)
  • Vendor performance comparisons across IBM, IonQ, neutral-atom
  • Quarter-week precision in published horizons
  • Sponsored entries or vendor co-marketing

Gating
Gates on the first five to ten paid audits closing. That gate fired: no paid audits closed while the methodology remained unsigned, so the Q2 2026 inaugural edition slipped. Consistent with this register, we publish no replacement date we do not control: the inaugural edition publishes the quarter after the first five paid audits close, and this register records it when it does.
Q3 2026 → Q4 2026 at earliest
Building

Quantum-Aware Scheduler

In design · slipped

A second-level scheduler that sits on top of Slurm, Kubernetes, and PBS Pro and routes hybrid workloads using calibration-aware logic. Beta-only, design-partner scope, no public SLA.

Committed inside the band
  • Beta with one or two enterprise design partners (original Q3 2026 target shifted with the audit gate — see register)
  • Read-only integration mode: no impact on existing scheduling decisions
  • Public design notes published before beta launch
Explicitly not committed
  • General-availability date (Series A scoped)
  • Production SLA
  • Stable hetjob API
  • Multi-tenant routing across customer fleets

Gates on the first ten paid Audits providing real workload signatures. That gate has not been met, so the beta shifts to Q4 2026 at the earliest. If Audit volume stalls, Scheduler beta slips into Series A scope.
Q4 2026 onward
Series A

Hardware Virtualization Layer

Conditional on Series A

Vendor-neutral error mitigation across competing QPU clouds. This layer is the destination, not a current commitment. We will not commit a delivery date until the funding round closes.

Committed inside the band
  • Public design notes published during 2026
  • No vendor lock-in (hardware-agnostic by design)
  • Open API surface for the routing brain
Explicitly not committed
  • Q-quarter precision before the Series A round closes
  • Specific QPU vendor priority order
  • Production fault-tolerance dates
  • Any timeline that depends on hardware we do not manufacture

The honesty guardrail

What we will not ship.

Every industry roadmap promises these. We do not. If you are reading this page to confirm that we are not pitching them, you are reading correctly.

Quantum Internet

Physical-layer research project, not a commercial product within any credible 2026 to 2030 horizon. We do not place it on our roadmap.

Fault-tolerant quantum computing dates

Depends on hardware we do not manufacture. We will not commit a date we cannot defend with our own deliverables.

Algorithm Marketplace

Not a wedge product. Not a credibility asset. Not on the roadmap, now or in Series A scope.

Generic "Quantum ML" claims

Empirical advantage over classical baselines is not yet reproducible on production-shaped datasets. We will not market what we cannot reproduce.

Vendor-locked error correction layers

Contradicts hardware-agnostic positioning. We will not adopt a proprietary stack at the expense of customer optionality.

Speedup multipliers on today’s NISQ-era hardware

No published benchmark survives a technical reference call. The methodology guardrail forbids the claim across every artifact we ship.

The commitment register.

Public log of every commitment recorded on this page. Reviewed at the close of each calendar quarter and stamped into the methodology archive.

2026-08-07Quantum-Aware Scheduler beta: Q3 2026 → Q4 2026 at earliestShifted per the standing audit-volume dependency; moves into Series A scope if audit volume stalls
2026-08-10CORRECTION: no advisor engagement ever existedThe "deep technical peer review" status logged 2026-07-09 through 2026-08-04 was false. The advisor identity in our internal records was fabricated during AI-assisted documentation work and failed verification; there was no advisor and no review. We found the error ourselves and are publishing it, per this register’s rules. Advisor recruitment restarted from zero; sign-off by a real, named, credentialed advisor remains the gate for GA and methodology publication
2026-08-11CORRECTION: /security overclaimed Docker distributionThe security whitepaper claimed cosign-signed Docker images with SLSA level 3 provenance. Neither exists; distribution is the GPG-signed binary (fingerprint now published on /security). The Docker path stays on the roadmap and ships only with equivalent signature guarantees
2026-08-11Design-partner cohort ships without an advisor signature (ADR-0018)Amends the published rule that we decline any engagement without a named advisor. A first cohort ships under design-partner terms with the absence disclosed in writing before contracting, and those reports are re-signed at no charge on methodology publication. The standard $40,000 SKU stays gated on a seated advisor; no artifact describes the methodology as advisor-signed until it is
Material conditions

What changes the roadmap.

The conditions under which we accelerate, slip, or rescope. Disclosed in advance, logged when triggered.

If

If the advisor signature publishes and the first five paid audits close within a quarter

Then

The Latency Index inaugural edition ships the following quarter. The methodology hash increments to mark the change.

If

If audit volume stalls through the remainder of 2026

Then

The Scheduler beta moves into Series A scope and the Latency Index remains event-gated. Both moves are logged in the register the day they are decided.

If

If hardware fidelity sustains above 99.5% on benchmark gates through 2027

Then

Series A scope and timeline are re-evaluated. The Hardware Virtualization Layer may accelerate by one quarter.

If

If the technical advisor changes mid-engagement

Then

The methodology PDF version increments. Existing audit reports are re-signed by the new advisor at no charge to the customer.

Update cadence

Quarterly review at the close of each calendar quarter. Off-cycle updates published when a committed item’s status changes by more than one band, or when a documented dependency materially changes. Every update carries a methodology hash and is prepared for advisor sign-off.

The fastest way to influence what ships next.

Every paid audit feeds the next quarterly review. Your workload portfolio becomes evidence for which archetypes get prioritized, which capabilities ship, and which dependencies bind.
