Abstract This research explores the integration of a marketing research plan and a book production schedule using Excel formulas and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) . It demonstrates how logigrams (flowcharts) and algorigram coding (VB algorithms) can automate decision-making and sequential workflows, supporting both educational assessment structures and industrial management systems . Scope Marketing research planning (scope, objectives, vendor selection). Book production scheduling (drafting, reviews, layout, finalization). Excel/VBA automation for timelines and dependencies. Application in South African TVET and engineering contexts . Overview The project integrates two workflows: Decision-based research planning (in-house vs. vendor). Sequential production scheduling (chapters 1–5). Both are linked through Excel worksheets and automated with VBA. Description Worksheet 1: MarketingPlan → ID, Owner, Start, Days, End. Worksheet 2: BookSchedule → Chapter, Task, Start, Days, End. Excel Formula: =WORKDAY(StartDate, Days, Holidays) ensures realistic timelines. VBA Code: Automates start/end dates and dependencies

This review suggests a practical roadmap of quantum automation of the business world with quantum computing using quantum-enhanced machine learning and existing automation systems. It describes the simplest quantum principles within the context of managerial problems, surveys strategic uses in large business functions and the leadership position needed to scale between isolated demonstrations of concept to scaled value. The approaches merge a scoping overview of current technical and managerial literature, experience of best practices, and logic of benchmarking that compares hybrid quantum classic pipes to tuned quantum classics on business-based measures like the quality of solutions at fixed time, time to decide, robustness, reliability and cost to result. The review recognises areas where a hybrid approach may yield quantifiable optimisation, scheduling, forecasting, and pattern-finding advantages and give constraints which are correlated with hardware noisy, algorithms maturity and systems integration and skill. It gives a roadmap of adoption, which is associated with the targeted pilots, governance, quantum-safe security, and ecosystem alliances a gradual scale-up that is visible to economic and risk controls.

Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an established neuromodulatory method, yet its multiscale neurophysiological effects in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remain insufficiently characterized. Recent EEG analytic advances—such as spectral parameterization, long-range temporal correlation (LRTC) assessment, and connectivity modeling—enable quantitative evaluation of excitation–inhibition (E/I) balance and network organization. Objective: This study aimed to examine whether an eight-session, EEG-guided mixed-frequency rTMS protocol—combining inhibitory 1 Hz and excitatory 10 Hz trains individualized to quantitative EEG (qEEG) abnormalities—produces measurable changes in spectral dynamics, temporal correlations, and functional connectivity in a pediatric ASD case. Methods: An 11-year-old right-handed female with ASD (DSM-5-TR, ADOS-2) underwent resting-state EEG one week before and four months after intervention. Preprocessing used a validated automated pipeline, followed by spectral parameterization (FOOOF), detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), and connectivity analyses (phase-lag index and Granger causality) in MATLAB (2023b). No inferential statistics were applied due to the single-case design. The study was conducted at Cosmos Healthcare (London, UK) with in-kind institutional support and approved by the Atlantic International University IRB (AIU-IRB-22-101). Results: Post-rTMS EEG showed (i) increased delta and reduced theta/alpha/beta power over central regions; (ii) steeper aperiodic slope and higher offset, maximal at Cz, suggesting increased inhibitory tone; (iii) reduced Hurst exponents (1–10 Hz) at Fz, Cz, and Pz, indicating decreased long-range temporal correlations; (iv) reorganization of hubs away from midline with marked Cz decoupling; and (v) strengthened parietal-to-central directional connectivity (Pz→Cz) with reduced Cz→Pz influence. Conclusions: Mixed-frequency, EEG-guided rTMS produced convergent changes across spectral, aperiodic, temporal, and connectivity measures consistent with modulation of cortical E/I balance and network organization. Findings are preliminary and hypothesis-generating. The study was supported by in-kind resources from Cosmos Healthcare, whose authors participated as investigators but had no influence on analysis or interpretation. Controlled trials are warranted to validate these exploratory results.
