Lesson 018: Transpilation trade-off matrices
Focus
Assume every diagram must map to topology and basis gates—not textbook abstractions alone. Token Transpilation trade-off matrices:18 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

- Guardrail: write one line about where classical cost dominated the timeline.

Shot budget tableau
1. Target CI width `0.095` @ confidence `96`
2. Pilot shots `768` expanding to `9846` if variance plateaus
3. Telemetry fields `job_id,device_tz,mitigation_bundle`
4. Stop rule `halt if RB infidelity > 0.002399`
