Porter's Five Forces: Quantum Chemistry Interoperability Bridge

A middleware tool that moves molecular data, results, and calculation states between ORCA 6.0 and other quantum chemistry packages through a standardized API. New evidence from the Quixote project confirms the core premise: most quantum chemistry results are still locked in package-specific files that machines cannot easily read, and the community is converging on common formats to fix this. The bridge would build on those open formats rather than replace them, focusing on the live, workflow-integrated transfer between packages that open projects do not yet provide.
