Product
From technical requirement to qualified infrastructure access.
Qapacity helps quantum organisations identify, qualify and access the specialist facilities, equipment and expertise required to build, test and validate quantum technologies.
1 · Requirement
“Characterise a superconducting device below 20 mK.”
2 · Criteria assessed against Example Facility A
Requires confirmation| Criterion | Status |
|---|---|
Cryogenic characterisation Mandatory | Confirmed match |
Base temperature below 20 mK Mandatory | Confirmed match |
Microwave measurement lines to 8 GHz Mandatory | Unknown |
Applied magnetic field to 9 T Preferred | Confirmed mismatch |
Work complete within 8 weeks Preferred | Likely match — confirmation required |
3 · What happens next
At least one mandatory criterion is unknown and needs provider confirmation. Next step: Request technical confirmation of the microwave measurement lines.
The workflow
One connected chain, from need to evidence.
Qapacity turns “this is what we need to build, test, characterise or validate” into the capabilities required, the facilities that may satisfy them, why they match, what remains unresolved, how access works and how the work progresses to completion.
- 01
Need
What you are trying to build, test, characterise or validate — in your own words.
- 02
Requirement
A structured technical requirement you have reviewed and confirmed.
- 03
Capability
The capabilities, processes, equipment and operating conditions the requirement depends on.
- 04
Infrastructure
Facilities connected to those capabilities through the Infrastructure Capability Graph.
- 05
Qualification
Criterion-by-criterion assessment: matched, unknown, mismatched — with sources.
- 06
Access
Technical confirmation, structured access requests, clarifications and quotes.
- 07
Work
Scheduled work tracked against your project and infrastructure pathway.
- 08
Evidence
Outputs and reports linked back to the requirement they were meant to satisfy.
- 09
Intelligence
What your organisation learns about infrastructure, dependencies and lead times.
What is in the product
The parts of the workflow
Technical requirements
Natural-language requirement capture, structured into criteria with values, units and priorities that you review.Matching and comparison
Criterion-by-criterion assessment across facilities, with side-by-side comparison of fit, restrictions, lead time and verification state.Technical confirmation and access requests
Structured requests that show exactly what will be shared, followed by clarifications and provider responses.Quotes and scheduling
Quote records and scheduling tracked in the workflow. A quote is not an invoice; a request is not a confirmed booking.Infrastructure pathways
Multi-stage plans such as fabrication → packaging → cryogenic testing → metrology, with dependencies and lead-time exposure.Evidence and records
Documents and outputs linked to the requirement, served only to authorised members of your organisation.
Principles
How Qapacity behaves
Capability before catalogue
Start with your objective
You do not need to know the name of the machine or laboratory you need. Describe the outcome and Qapacity works out the capabilities involved.Explainability before recommendation
No unexplained scores
Every potential match shows what matched, what did not, what remains unknown, which criteria are mandatory and which are preferences — with the evidence behind each.Unknown is a valid state
Missing information stays visible
Qapacity never turns missing information into assumed compatibility. Unknown criteria are shown as unknown so you can ask the provider.Intelligence is not certification
Clear about what we do not do
Qapacity does not certify facilities, guarantee that a facility can perform a process or provide regulatory approval.Access before marketplace liquidity
Useful without online booking
Discover, qualify and enquire — even when a provider does not publish live availability or accept bookings online.Integrate rather than replace
Works alongside your systems
Qapacity is designed to connect over time with procurement, calendars, facility-management and evidence systems rather than replace them.Provenance everywhere
Know where information came from
Capability information keeps its source, source type, dates observed and verified, verification state and history of changes.AI assists; it does not silently decide
You stay in control
AI can suggest criteria or summarise documents. Suggestions are labelled and nothing is treated as confirmed until a person accepts it.
