Track 02 — Research

Propose a collaboration

One page, one question, one clear ask. Sam reads every brief personally — no form funnel, no sales call.

In scope

Sector 01

Symbolic Reasoning

Formal verification, theorem proving, MDGs, HOL, SAT/SMT, symbolic simulation, runtime monitoring. Applied to neural networks and regulated decisions.

Explore sector →

Sector 02

AI & Machine Learning

Neurosymbolic integration, explainable architectures, uncertainty quantification, abstention, LLM governance for high-stakes decisions.

Explore sector →

Sector 03

Quantum HyperGraph

Hypergraph decision representations, quantum-accelerated search, quantum-symbolic verification. Frontier work, long-horizon.

Explore sector →

Adjacent areas (mechanistic interpretability, control theory, program synthesis, probabilistic circuits, AI safety) are welcome if the framing connects back to accountability.

One-page brief template

Hi Sam,

I'd like to propose a research collaboration with QGI.

1. Research question (1–2 sentences):


2. Why it matters / who benefits:


3. What I bring to the collaboration:
   - Institution / lab:
   - My role:
   - Relevant prior work (links):

4. What I'm looking for from QGI:
   [ ] Co-authorship
   [ ] Technical advisory
   [ ] Compute or infra
   [ ] Funding / grant partnership
   [ ] PhD / postdoc mentorship
   [ ] Other (describe):

5. Timeline (start / key milestones / target venue):


6. Links (arXiv, Scholar, GitHub, personal site):


Thanks,

What gets a yes

Green flags

A question someone can fail at — falsifiable, not survey-shaped.
A clear division of labor — who writes, who runs experiments, who ships.
A target venue or deliverable, even if it's informal (workshop, preprint, demo).
Prior work you're proud of — we read it before replying.

Not a fit

"Generic LLM wrapper" or "chatbot improvement" framings.
Undergraduate capstone help or take-home homework.
Paid write-my-paper requests — that's what consultants are for.
Stealth startup validation disguised as research. Use the Enterprise track instead.

Actually more of an enterprise need? The other track ships faster.
