Lesson 025: Resource estimation stubs
Focus
Separate statistical noise from calibration drift before claiming algorithm wins. Token Resource estimation stubs:25 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Resource estimation stubs · drill v5 · spin
452716. - 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.

Transpilation checklist
- [ ] basis translation logged for `iswap+cz blend`
- [ ] SWAP count vs manual estimate delta noted
- [ ] layout seed `S-35`
Rollback triggers: CX depth > THRESH-170 OR queue SLA breach without mitigation flip.
