Two readings, one ruler: today and projected.

The PQC Readiness Track translates the post-quantum migration program into two numbers on the same IEQ ruler: today's score and the projected score if the planned milestones are completed. The difference between the two guides which milestone to prioritize — it does not replace the committee's decision, and it is not a compliance attestation.

01The problem

Prioritizing post-quantum migration within a governance program, knowing today which milestone reduces exposure the most before committing budget and schedule.

What is at stake

  • Governance milestones compete for budget without knowing which one reduces exposure the most.
  • The program reports progress in completed activities, not in a comparable before/after score.
  • Without a projection, the committee only sees a milestone's gain after it has already been completed.
02Evidence

The PQC Readiness Track's present-day score comes from the same public collection and the same IEQ engine as the Exposure Report. The projection adds the governance gain of the milestones the organization marks as planned, holding the other declared parameters constant — the same mode used to compute the present-day score.

Coverage
Public layer only: DNS, TLS, PQC readiness, headers, infrastructure, and observable subdomains.

Limitation: The projection depends on the milestones the organization itself declares as planned: it is a simulation over governance hypotheses, not a new collection nor a post-change measurement.

03What applies

The same IEQ engine as the diagnostic, in constant declaratory mode to isolate the governance effect.

Present score against projected score

In production

Both numbers on the same ruler as the Exposure Report.

Gain per governance milestone

In production

How much each planned milestone would reduce governance exposure, in isolation.

Auditable delta, action by action

In production

Each milestone checked or unchecked explains the change in the projected score on its own.

04What comes out

A comparison of two scores and the gain attributed to each milestone — not a regulatory compliance attestation.

  • Today's score, calculated over the current public collection.
  • Projected score from the milestones marked as planned.
  • Governance exposure gain attributed to each milestone, in isolation.
  • Auditable delta: each milestone can be checked and unchecked to see its isolated effect.

What it depends on

  • A domain with public collection already performed (same base as the Exposure Report).
  • The program's list of governance milestones, declared as planned or completed.
05What the projection is not

The projection simulates a governance program over hypotheses the organization itself declares — it does not replace verification, nor does it attest regulatory compliance.

Observed

Public collection saw

  • Public DNS, TLS, PQC readiness, and header signals, in the collection that produces today's score.

Calculated

The IEQ engine derived

  • Today's score, by the same IEQ engine as the diagnostic.
  • Projected score and each milestone's gain, in constant declaratory mode.

Declared

The organization reported

  • The governance milestones the organization marks as planned or completed.

Inferred

The model estimated

  • Reference sector, when not declared, used only to contextualize today's score.

Out of scope

Other evidence decides

  • A regulatory compliance attestation: coverage of IN ITI 35/2026 is under validation, and the track organizes governance milestones, but does not issue an attestation.
  • A guarantee that a milestone marked as planned will be completed on schedule.
  • An achieved result: the projection is a simulation over planned actions, not a measurement taken after the change.

Limits of the comparison

  • The ruler is a static reference base, not a continuous measurement: there is no automatic update between one run and the next.
  • Comparison is always against anonymous aggregates, never against another organization's individual result.
  • A public-mode result does not compare to a complete-mode result, because the two readings start from different kinds of evidence.

Boundary

Where measurement ends

Adequacy programNot implemented

Measurement ends at: the technical change in the environment. Measuring exposure does not reduce it: reduction requires changing configuration, replacing certificates, switching negotiation policy, or migrating libraries — work carried out by the organization's own teams and suppliers.

This readout delivers

  • Today's score and the projected score, on the same ruler as the Exposure Report.
  • The isolated gain of each governance milestone marked as planned.

After the change, GWK

  • Re-collects public signals and recalculates IEQ on the same ruler, when contracted to do so.
  • States scope, mode, coverage, and run for both measurements, so the difference is interpretable.
  • Attributes the observed effect only to the scope actually changed and verified.

Not included

  • Executing the change: GWK does not alter the client's configuration, certificates, or infrastructure.
  • Deployment, assisted operation, or change management.
  • An adequacy program: it exists as a GWK engineering project, not as a contractable capability.
