Lesson 011: Transpilation trade-off matrices
Focus
Document classical post-processing: it often dominates wall-clock and interpretability. Token Transpilation trade-off matrices:11 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Transpilation trade-off matrices · drill v1 · spin
212880. - Habit: pair each job with shot budget, mitigation profile, and a calibration fingerprint you could paste.
- Guardrail: write one line about where classical cost dominated the timeline.

- [ ] basis translation logged for `rz-sx vs native`
- [ ] SWAP count vs manual estimate delta noted
- [ ] layout seed `S-622`
Rollback triggers: CX depth > THRESH-141 OR queue SLA breach without mitigation flip.
