Use Case Selector

Answer 3 questions to find your ideal use case:

1. What's your primary concern?

  • Data Privacy → Healthcare, Finance, Manufacturing
  • Cost Reduction → Scientific Computing, Urban Planning, Supply Chain
  • Real-Time Performance → Gaming, Manufacturing (digital twin), Finance (HFT)
  • Offline Operation → Manufacturing, Supply Chain
  • Regulatory Compliance → Healthcare (HIPAA), Finance (Basel III), Manufacturing (ITAR)

2. What's your scale?

  • Small (<1,000 entities) → All industries supported
  • Medium (1K-100K entities) → Single GPU sufficient
  • Large (100K-1M entities) → Multi-GPU workstation
  • Massive (>1M entities) → Distributed cluster (P2P or federation)

3. What's your deployment constraint?

  • Must be on-premises → Healthcare, Finance, Manufacturing (defense)
  • Can use cloud → Gaming, Scientific (some cases), Smart City
  • Must be offline-capable → Manufacturing, Supply Chain
  • Multi-site coordination needed → Scientific (federated), Supply Chain (P2P)

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: "Cloud Migration Avoidance"

Industries: Healthcare, Finance, Manufacturing (ITAR) Problem: Regulatory/IP concerns prevent cloud usage Solution: On-premises VisionClaw deployment TCO: $1.7M (5-year) vs $2.2M cloud (22% savings)

Pattern 2: "Edge Computing for Real-Time Control"

Industries: Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Smart City Problem: Cloud latency unacceptable for control loops Solution: Edge deployment per site, P2P sync Latency: 10ms vs 200ms cloud (95% reduction)

Pattern 3: "P2P Cost Elimination"

Industries: Gaming, Scientific (federated) Problem: Server costs scale linearly with users Solution: Peer-to-peer physics computation Cost: $0 marginal vs $0.50/hour/user (100% savings)

Pattern 4: "Offline-First Resilience"

Industries: Manufacturing, Supply Chain Problem: Internet outages halt operations (99.5% SLA = 43 hours/year) Solution: Local computation, eventual consistency Uptime: 99.9% vs 99.5% (85% downtime reduction)

Key Differentiators

vs Traditional Simulation Software

VisionClaw Traditional
Real-time (60 FPS) Batch processing (hours)
Interactive 3D Static output files
Multi-user collaborative Single-user
Open-source (MPL 2.0) Proprietary ($10K-500K/seat)
GPU-accelerated CPU-bound (mostly)

vs Cloud-Based Solutions

VisionClaw (On-Premises) Cloud
Data sovereignty Data leaves network
Zero marginal cost $0.50-$5/hour per GPU
Sub-10ms latency 50-200ms latency
Offline operation Internet-dependent
One-time hardware ($15K) Ongoing subscription

vs Game Engines (Unity/Unreal)

VisionClaw Unity/Unreal
100x GPU physics CPU PhysX/Chaos
Deterministic (multiplayer) Non-deterministic
Constraint-based Force-based
Scientific accuracy Game-focused approximations
Ontology reasoning No semantic layer
