NIST FIPS 203, 204, and 205 provide standardized algorithms.

Existing protocols, hardware, keys, certificates, records, suppliers, and recovery processes may not support them.

A paper inventory can be represented as quantum readiness.

Maintain algorithm inventories, dependency maps, interoperability tests, hybrid and rollback plans, and evidence of actual deployment state.
