Q-Day readiness

Everything you need before Q-Day

Understand the threat, map your deadlines, and run a live inventory — with evidence your board and auditors can verify.

If X + Y > Z, harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure requires action now.

10 + 5 = 15 vs Z = 8

Inequality holds — HNDL exposure today.
