Lesson 142: Research-to-production handoffs
Focus
Prefer falsifiable hypotheses (shot count, fidelity floor) over buzzword proofs-of-concepts. Token Research-to-production handoffs:142 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Research-to-production handoffs · drill v2 · spin
242200. - 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-2738`
Rollback triggers: CX depth > THRESH-161 OR queue SLA breach without mitigation flip.
