Cryptographic Evidence Gates
Direct answer
K12 publishes 80 bounded gate records across eight components; every component remains DEGRADED and no production cryptographic transition is authorized.
Claim-level evidence boundary
VERIFIED PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Cryptographic transition remains evidence-gated
K12 evaluates ten evidence gates for each component workbook and authorizes no production transition.
Reference gate results are not production migration evidence.

Reference gate evidence does not prove algorithm strength, supplier support, interoperability, production migration, or deployment. K12 authorizes no production transition.
