- Survey covers ≥ 60 peer‑reviewed sources. - All four paradigms are represented with complete metric entries (T₁, T₂, gate fidelities, connectivity). - Knowledge‑Graph schema validated by stakeholders and ready for data ingestion.

Develop and validate noise and error‑correction models for 10–20 qubit subsets; prototype small‑scale QAOA runs on representative combinatorial inference tasks.

- Noise‑Model Report with simulated T₁/T₂ impacts and logical error thresholds under surface‑code and LDPC schemes. - QAOA Prototype Code & benchmark results (fidelity curves runtimes). - Mid‑project Presentation summarizing preliminary findings.

- Noise models reproduce known vendor benchmarks within ±10 %. - Logical error rates achieve threshold crossing (logical error < 10⁻² at physical error rates). - QAOA prototype achieves ≥ 80 % solution fidelity on toy MaxCut instances (n ≤ 10, p ≤ 2).

Extend QAOA depth (p ≤ 5) and VQE molecular benchmarks (up to 6 qubits); implement Quantum Walk–based inference on toy knowledge graphs; integrate quantum subroutines with Hyperon’s PLN and ECAN modules.

- Extended Benchmark Suite comparing QAOA/VQE/Quantum Walk against classical baselines. - Hybrid Integration Scripts linking quantum routines to Hyperon components. - Updated Documentation with performance heatmaps and code repository links.

$25,000 USD

- QAOA/VQE benchmarks demonstrate equal or improved performance (solution quality or runtime) over classical MCMC/variational methods on defined micro‑tasks. - Quantum Walk inference matches classical random‑walk accuracy within 5 % on graphs (|V| ≤ 20). - Integration scripts successfully execute end‑to‑end hybrid workflows without errors.

Synthesize all collected data into a comprehensive feasibility report; produce “traffic‑light” recommendations a cost‑benefit analysis and a 3‑year roadmap for quantum‑accelerated AGI adoption.

- Final Report with side‑by‑side architecture comparisons mathematical models experiment summaries and strategic guidance. - Executive Summary for non‑technical stakeholders. - Presentation Deck highlighting key visuals and decision recommendations.

$25,000 USD

- Final Report receives formal approval from SingularityNET and OpenCog sponsors. - Executive Summary distilled to ≤ 5 pages, clearly communicating actionable insights. - Roadmap includes at least three realistic near‑term quantum use cases and distinguishes speculative avenues.
