Qtonic Quantum Lab scores are generated through automated evaluation using publicly available evidence. Scores reflect conditions at the time of evaluation and may change as solutions evolve. Vendors may request a retest at any time. See our fidelity guarantee for full details.
Qtonic Quantum operates on provider-certified cloud infrastructure and documents inherited controls in the Trust Center.
Every Qtonic Quantum Score is backed by a cryptographic fidelity guarantee. If our scoring system produces a result that deviates from independently verifiable ground truth beyond acceptable thresholds, we flag it, fix it, and disclose it. No exceptions.
Every solution is scored across 10 published dimensions, weights, and thresholds so buyers can inspect how each result is produced.
Automated evaluation gathers and scores public evidence consistently so the published rubric is applied the same way across the registry.
Every dimension score carries a provenance tag (verified, contested, inferred, degraded) indicating how the evidence was obtained. This gives consumers per-dimension confidence signals, not just an aggregate number.
Every published score includes a full audit trail with expert validation. Score records carry the Lab signature trail, and public proof manifests are Ed25519-signed against the published Lab keyset.
If independently verifiable evidence shows a published score should change, Qtonic Quantum Lab re-scores the solution, publishes the correction, and preserves the revision trail.
If any Qtonic Quantum Score is demonstrated to be inaccurate against independently verifiable evidence, we will re-score the solution, publish the correction with full transparency, and disclose the root cause of the deviation. Our scoring system is designed to fail-safe: when uncertain, it scores conservatively and flags the provenance as degraded rather than publish a confident but potentially wrong number.
No vendor can pay for a higher score. No unpublished override can adjust a published score without triggering a full re-evaluation cycle through the published methodology. The integrity of the Qtonic Quantum Score is the foundation of everything Qtonic Quantum Lab does.
Qtonic Quantum Lab treats fidelity as a publication discipline. Scores are compared against independently verifiable evidence, and corrections are published transparently when the evidence changes:
Our fidelity claim is validated against independently verifiable reference evidence: public technical materials (liboqs, pqcrypto) are expected to score ≥80 on Algorithm Correctness. If they don't, the scoring pipeline is recalibrated before any scores publish.
What cryptographic fidelity means: Fidelity is measured against our rubric's internal consistency, not against an external oracle. No universal PQC scoring standard exists yet. Our guarantee is that when we discover a deviation from verifiable evidence, we correct and disclose it.
Our track record is the guarantee. Every score revision is published in our correction changelog. We have corrected scores downward and upward. We do not suppress unfavorable corrections.
When an external PQC scoring standard is established (by NIST, ENISA, or equivalent), Qtonic Quantum Lab will calibrate against it and publish the delta.
Any vendor or maintainer can request a retest of their solution at any time, at no cost. Common reasons to request a retest:
Retests follow the same published methodology as original evaluations. Previous scores remain in the audit trail with full version history. Contact lab@qtonicquantum.com to request a retest.
Disclaimer: Qtonic Quantum Lab scores are generated by automated evaluation of publicly available evidence and reviewed against independent ground truth. Scores reflect conditions at the time of evaluation and are not guarantees of security, fitness for purpose, or regulatory compliance. Qtonic Quantum is not responsible for implementation decisions made based on these scores. Solutions are re-evaluated periodically and when vendors request a retest. The cryptographic fidelity guarantee applies to scoring accuracy against independently verifiable ground truth, not to the security of the underlying solutions. For production deployment decisions, we recommend combining Qtonic Quantum Lab scores with your own internal security evaluation.
