How to Choose Execution Mode

Do you need auditability?

• Yes → deterministic exact.
• No → continue.

Do you need speed at scale?

• Yes → ND bounded.
• No → deterministic exact.

Can you tolerate approximation?

• Yes → ND bounded with witness.
• No → deterministic exact.

CLI flags

• Deterministic: --execution-contract deterministic --execution-mode strict
• ND bounded: --execution-contract non_deterministic --execution-mode bounded
