The Optimize Layer enables ChordianAI to convert data, constraints, and enterprise objectives into optimal, cost-efficient, and actionable decisions. Its role is to determine what solver(s) to use, in what sequence, under what constraints, and how to combine their outputs to obtain the best final result.
2.4.1 Purpose of the Optimize Layer
The Optimize Layer’s mission is to:
Select the optimal optimization strategy for the given problem.
Execute classical, heuristic, ML-guided, and quantum solvers in the correct combination.
Integrate business constraints, preferences, and cost/latency budgets.
Produce feasible, measurable, and high-quality decisions.
Support ready-made industry optimization templates for rapid deployment.
It provides the decision engine that transforms analysis into optimal action.
2.4.2 Strategy Selection and Optimization Blueprinting
Purpose
To choose the best possible combination of solvers or templates based on problem nature, dimensionality, constraints, SLAs, enterprise context, and hardware capabilities.
Process
Step 1 — Problem Characterization
The Optimize Layer receives a structured optimization request including:
objective functions
constraints (hard/soft)
variable domains
scale and dimensionality
decision granularity
cost and latency targets
available hardware (CPU, GPU, quantum)
historical performance of similar problems
Step 2 — Solver Strategy Selection
Based on the blueprint, the layer determines whether the problem is best solved by:
classical deterministic solvers
metaheuristic and search-based solvers
ML-guided heuristics
hybrid CPU + GPU pipelines
quantum-accelerated combinatorial routines
or a predefined industry template (FinOps, supply chain routing, workforce optimization, etc.)
Selection criteria include:
computational cost
expected runtime
solution quality requirements
dimensionality and non-linearity
probabilistic guarantees
hardware availability
tolerance for approximate solutions
risk and compliance constraints
Step 3 — Multi-Solver Composition
Depending on the problem the Optimize Layer can construct multi-solver flows, such as:
heuristic pre-processing → LP solve → quantum refinement
clustering → simulated annealing → LP post-filter
ML surrogate model → QUBO solver → constraint validator
local search → integer programming → multi-objective scoring
The result is a composite optimization pipeline, not just a single solver call.
Step 4 — Execution Plan Generation
Defines:
solver ordering
parameter tuning
fallback strategies
parallelization opportunities
precision-time trade-offs
iterative refinement loops
stopping conditions
This plan is passed to the Orchestrate Layer for execution.
