I’m not watching the rollout, I’m planning for it – set a tiered entry, secure early access, lock in partnerships before the hype peaks, then double‑check supply chains. If you’re ready to move, start with a sandbox test, then scale with a risk‑managed roll‑out. Keep the playbook lean, focus on first movers and pivot fast.

With the current budget we can spin up around fifteen sandbox nodes, enough to cover the full test suite without breaking the bank. I only lock in partners who have a proven track record in quantum hardware, strong data‑security protocols, a clear IP roadmap that aligns with ours, and a willingness to share risk – no hidden costs or long‑term lock‑ins. The goal is speed, reliability, and a clear exit strategy if it doesn’t work out.
