Workloads where QPC reports the same objective number as an external reference—published paper, classical baseline, or inequality bound—with auditable IBM (or other) job IDs.
D-Wave “Proof of Quantum Work” blockchain (Leap demo) is not on this list: it measures quantum-hash consensus on annealers, not folding energy, QUBO cost, or ICC. Different subject—results are not comparable rows.
Published industry-style business tasks replayed on IBM Heron gate QPUs with QPC polycontextural architecture. Same metrics as external studies; auditable job IDs.

● Separability falsification — ICC gap coupled vs independent IBM jobs; auditable on ibm_fez. Not an optimization bake-off.
● Transjunction ON vs OFF / ICC — completed on toy + Cerrado; see separability report.
● Port separability methodology to Traffic when partitioned parallel is used.
