Quantum is Not a Gimmick (When Used Correctly)
Where quantum-inspired optimization helps—and where it doesn’t—when constraints and combinatorics matter.
Why this matters
Enterprise adoption requires controls, evidence, and repeatability—not just model capability.
What to implement (platform primitives)
- Policy enforcement at run time and tool-call time
- Immutable run logs with deterministic replay
- Budget caps and approvals for high-cost operations
- Evidence export for procurement, security, and audits
A practical checklist
- Define control objectives per workflow (approval gates, data boundaries)
- Capture evidence automatically (who/what/why/when)
- Make replay deterministic (inputs, tools, outputs, costs)
- Operationalize with dashboards (SLOs, tracing, burn-rate alerts)
Next steps
- Request pilot access to see governed autonomy in a real workflow.
- Review the Trust Center for control mappings and evidence exports.
