FAQ - QuantFenix

Clear answers about how we optimize optimization jobs - with budget guardrails and measurable ROI.

1) How does QuantFenix choose the “right” compute path?

We balance three factors: quality, cost, and latency. For each job (e.g., scheduling, VRP, portfolio), we recommend a classical, hybrid, or quantum path - governed by your policies and budget caps.

2) Do we have to use quantum computers?

No. QuantFenix is provider‑agnostic. In many cases, classical solutions are best (and cheapest). Quantum or hybrid is used only when it delivers measurable gains.

3) How do you prove ROI?

Every run generates a concise summary: what ran, why it was chosen, cost, performance, and improvement against a baseline. Shareable with engineering, finance, and leadership.

4) How do budget guardrails work?

You set caps per run or period. We provide pre‑run estimates and automatically stop jobs that would exceed the cap.

5) Which providers do you support?

We support classical solvers and multiple quantum platforms via standard SDKs and your own accounts. You can also run BYOC (Bring Your Own Credentials).

6) Where is data stored?

Choose EU or US data residency. We log only the metadata required for run traceability and reporting - your business data stays where you want it.

7) How fast can we get started?

Start with sample data or a small slice of your own. Upload → run → get a report. When you’re happy, connect your own environments/keys.

8) Are we locked in?

No. You own your accounts, your keys, and your results. QuantFenix does not lock you to a provider - we make switching easier.

9) What problem types are supported?

Common combinatorial and optimization problems: Vehicle Routing (VRP), shift scheduling, portfolio/knapsack, task/job planning, and more. Missing one? We add adapters.

10) How do we integrate into operations?

Via API/CLI/SDK. Run ad‑hoc from the web, automatically in CI/CD, or as scheduled jobs in your data flow.

11) How do you handle privacy and audit?

Every run gets a traceable log and a shareable summary. This supports internal controls, audit, and discussions with Finance/Legal.

12) What does it cost?

We offer a free analysis run to estimate savings. After that, we provide a plan aligned to your volume and features (e.g., more policies, multiple environments, advanced reporting). Contact us for a quote.

13) Can we run in our own environment (on‑prem/VPC)?

Yes. Choose BYOC to use your own accounts and networks. QuantFenix uses only the permissions required to execute the job and generate the report.

14) What if provider prices/queues change?

Recommendations update continuously based on observed performance and cost - without manual tuning on your side.

15) What do we need to start a pilot?

A representative dataset, target/KPIs (e.g., lower cost or shorter runtime), and policy/budget. We deliver weekly reports and a final decision brief.
