The Quantum Audit · Q1 2026 GA

Quantum hardware will disappoint
your enterprise through 2028.

We know because we audit them.

Q-Intercept ships a paid diagnostic that Fortune 500 engineering teams run on their existing classical clusters to identify exactly which workloads — molecular simulation, portfolio optimization, logistics — are bleeding compute spend today, and which will benefit from quantum acceleration when the hardware matures.

The Quantum Audit

A paid diagnostic CLI that runs on-prem inside your HPC infrastructure. Two weeks. $40K. One board-ready report.

What we measure

  • Workload classification against 15 quantum-advantaged archetypes
  • Quantum Suitability Score (0–100) per workload
  • Dollar-cost of every bottleneck on your classical infrastructure
  • Earliest credible hardware horizon per archetype

What we deliver

  • Board-ready PDF with methodology hash on every page
  • Anonymized Latency Index ranking against industry peers
  • Prioritized roadmap of top 10 quantum-acceleratable workloads
  • Signed methodology PDF — technical advisor on file

What we won't claim

  • Speedup multipliers on today's hardware
  • Promised quantum-advantage delivery dates
  • Vendor performance comparisons
  • ROI projections beyond classical bottleneck cost

The honesty guardrail. This is the moat.

Authority Asset · Q2 2026

The Q-Intercept Latency Index

The first quarterly benchmark tracking the dollar cost of inefficient quantum-classical handoffs at Fortune 500 HPC centers.

Every audit feeds the Index. The inaugural report ships in Q2 2026 once we've audited the first 5–10 customers. Methodology public. Data sanitized. No customer ever named.

Why the Index matters

In 2026, hyperscalers will deploy hundreds of billions into hybrid quantum-HPC infrastructure. Classical GPU clusters sit idle waiting for QPUs to return results. Nobody publishes the actual cost.

We do. Quarterly. Signed methodology. The number you'll see cited in board decks by 2027.

FICO for Quantum

The Quantum Suitability Score

Every workload in your audit gets a 0–100 score. Rule-based, auditable, no ML black box. Five inputs, five weights.

Banding

80–100High — design-partner candidate when hardware matures in the stated horizon
50–79Medium — track quarterly, revisit on each new QPU generation
20–49Low — classical is the right answer for the foreseeable future
0–19Not a candidate — don't waste cycles evaluating

Why Q-Intercept

Hardware vendors are building proprietary stacks. We're building the routing layer that sits above all of them.

Hardware-agnostic

Vendor-neutral routing across IBM, AWS Braket, IonQ, neutral-atom. Write once in Python — we compile to whatever backend delivers the best error-mitigated execution today.

Container narrative

Quantum resources invoked like AWS Lambda. We're building the Docker-equivalent for Quantum-Integrated HPC.

openQSE

Open Quantum-HPC Software Ecosystem. Vendor-neutral reference architectures. Hyperscalers don't want IBM or NVIDIA lock-in. We're the neutral layer they actually want.

Transparency

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

We don't pitch products that don't exist.

Who we serve

Three industries with well-characterized quantum-advantaged problem signatures.

Pharma

VQE-routable molecular Hamiltonians. Drug-discovery teams burn HPC budget on classical molecular dynamics that maps cleanly to known quantum advantage curves.

Archetypes: VQE · QPE · QAOA

Finance

Portfolio optimization, Monte Carlo risk, derivatives pricing. Quadratic-cost workloads that struggle to scale on the trading-desk clock.

Archetypes: Amplitude Estimation · QAOA · HHL

Logistics

MILP routing, scheduling, network flow. Combinatorial optimization where classical objective functions blow up at enterprise scale.

Archetypes: QAOA · Grover · MILP-mapped

Book your audit.

We'll run it on your classical infrastructure in two weeks. You'll know exactly which of your workloads will benefit from quantum acceleration — and when the hardware that makes it real actually ships.
