PROVE IT FIRST
LAUNCHPAD PROGRAM
A fixed-scope engagement to answer the question: can advanced compute solve this problem? Get a working proof-of-concept and a clear recommendation, in weeks, not months.
WHY LAUNCHPAD
De-risk before you invest.
You shouldn't have to make a big bet to find out if advanced compute works for your problem. Launchpad gives you proof (a working demonstration and honest assessment) before you commit to a larger engagement.
Fixed scope, fixed cost
You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs. No scope creep, no surprise invoices, no open-ended consulting.
Fast answers
Weeks, not months. We move quickly to give you the information you need to make a decision.
Real results, not slides
You get a working proof-of-concept running on real compute, not a theoretical analysis or a deck of recommendations.
Honest assessment
If it doesn't work, we'll tell you. Our recommendation is always based on what's actually true, not what sells more work.
WHAT YOU GET
Everything you need to decide.
Launchpad delivers concrete outputs, not just opinions. You'll have what you need to make a confident go/no-go decision on further investment.
Use Case Analysis
Assessment of your problem and which computational approaches are most promising: optimization, quantum, or quantum-inspired.
Working Proof-of-Concept
A functional prototype demonstrating the approach on a simplified version of your problem, running on real hardware.
Feasibility Report
Technical and business evaluation of the results: what worked, what didn't, and what it would take to scale to production.
Go/No-Go Recommendation
A clear, honest assessment of whether to invest further. And if yes, what the next steps look like.
HOW IT WORKS
Three phases, clear deliverables.
Every Launchpad follows the same structured approach. You'll know what to expect at each stage.
Problem Scoping
We work with you to understand your problem and scope a simplified version that we can tackle in the engagement. The goal is to test the approach, not solve the whole thing.
Build & Test
Our team builds the proof-of-concept, running experiments across different compute approaches. We test on real hardware through our platform and partner ecosystem.
Evaluate & Recommend
We analyze the results, document what we learned, and give you a clear recommendation on whether to proceed. And if so, what the path looks like.
WHAT'S NEXT
From proof to production.
Launchpad is designed to answer a question. If the answer is “yes, this works,” you'll have options for what comes next.
Go deeper with Experts
Most successful Launchpads lead to a Forward Deployed Experts engagement. We embed with your team to build production solutions and transfer capability.
Run it yourself
If you have internal capability, you can take the PoC and run with it. We'll make sure everything is documented and transferable. Our platform is available if you need compute access.
