Maybell Quantum's ColdCloud demonstrates the same pattern in He-3 demand: real commercial contracts exist (Interlune supply agreement maintained), but architectural efficiency improvements (80% reduction per qubit) mean actual consumption grows much slower than qubit count scaling would suggest. The killer app demand is real but quantity forecasting requires modeling efficiency curves, not just deployment rates.

Maybell Quantum's ColdCloud demonstrates the same demand complexity pattern in He-3 for quantum computing: real demand exists (maintained Interlune supply contract for thousands of liters 2029-2035), but per-unit efficiency improvements (80% reduction in He-3 per qubit) mean demand growth decouples from deployment scaling. This parallels the space manufacturing sequence where pharmaceutical demand is real but volumes are smaller than hoped due to process optimization.
