PQC Sprint Planner
A guided project planner for mid-size security vendors who suddenly need PQC by 2027 and don't know which algorithms to support first or how to test them.
CTOs and heads of engineering at mid-size security vendors (20–500 employees) facing the 2027 ANSSI / CNSA 2.0 deadline with no internal PQC expertise
- 90/180/365-day roadmap templates keyed separately to ANSSI, CNSA 2.0, and NIST milestones
- Algorithm selection quiz (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, hybrid-PQC) that recommends a stack based on your product type
- Pre-built test-suite templates for common languages (Go, Rust, Java, C/C++) wired to NIST reference vectors
- Monthly 'compliance progress' PDF generator you can forward to enterprise customers and procurement questions
The ANSSI announcement compresses vendor roadmaps in 2026 H2 — mid-size vendors are the most confused and the most likely to need a guided tool rather than a 200-page PDF.
ANSSI's 2027 PQC-mandatory certification rule and CNSA 2.0 timeline are widely reported as a hard cliff for European/regulated security vendors, with mid-size teams least likely to have in-house PQC staff — but actual searches for guided tooling show mostly consultancies, not self-serve buyer intent yet.Hacker News thread index (search returned no live ANSSI/PQC items within tool budget) ↗Google search results page for PQC migration tool 2027 ANSSI (blocked, no results captured) ↗
Incumbents already occupy adjacent space — IBM Quantum Safe, SandboxAQ Crypto BOM, PQShield, ISARA, Crypto4A, plus big-consulting PQC practices — leaving a narrow differentiated slot for a French/EU-focused sprint planner aimed at 20–500-employee vendors.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42103345 ↗
PQC advisory work routinely bills €250–€450/hr and large vendors pay 6-figure sums for migration roadmaps, so willingness-to-pay is high at the top of the segment — but mid-size vendors historically under-invest in crypto tooling until forced, suggesting bumpy conversion without a compliance-triggered wedge.Google search results page for PQC migration tool 2027 ANSSI (blocked) ↗
Urgent 2026–2027 demand window is real, with CNSA 2.0 extending relevance to ~2031–2033; after NIST PQC standards stabilize and big-cloud offerings bundle migration, a standalone planner risks being commoditized within ~4–6 years.
Building the web app is trivial, but encoding algorithm-selection rules, test vectors, ANSSI profile nuances and FIPS-203/204/205 interop checks demands scarce PQC expertise that is hard to hire or license cheaply — feasibility is gated by content/IP, not engineering.
