Advising a client on quantum exposure, partners, or targets
A structured read of a benchmark-less market: who is nearest to whom, what the strong actors actually do, and where activity concentrates versus where it is thin. Associations are correlational within the window — not causal.
What you can ask
Signals for you
Descriptive patterns over the current window — each with its source evidence. Correlational, not causal.
Signal activity is concentrated at the top
The top 3 actors (Swiss Quantum Initiative, ETH Zurich Quantum Center, Basel Precision Instruments) account for 22% of weighted signal activity across 40 active actors.
Basel Precision Instruments is signalling on 35 dimensions
Basel Precision Instruments is active across 35 distinct signal dimensions (broad, multi-front signalling) rather than a single-note story.

Ranked for this lens
Top actors by Signal Breadth — this lens's lead metric.
| # | Actor | Category | BreadthSignal Breadthdistinct dimensionsHow many of the signal dimensions an actor is active on. High = broad, multi-front signalling; low = a narrow, single-note story. | Cap.–Leg.Capability–Legitimacy Ratio(cap + 1) / (cap + leg + 2)Balance between capability signals (what an actor can technically do) and legitimacy signals (endorsements, partnerships). Near 1 = capability-led; near 0 = legitimacy-led. Laplace-smoothed. | Cost-weightedCost-Weighted Signal ScoreΣ (weight × confidence × cost_mult)The Signal Activity Score after discounting low-cost signals. Hard-to-fake signals (patents, funding, peer-reviewed research) keep most of their weight; low-cost positioning is multiplied down. |
