Why: Strangeworks sells optimization outcomes (routing, scheduling, planning) to enterprises using a mix of quantum-inspired computing, classical HPC, and AI agents (Aura) — AI is a real, material delivery mechanism but the company's core identity/origin is quantum & optimization, not AI itself, so it's AI-powered rather than AI-native, and it applies AI to produce business outcomes rather than selling AI/models directly.
