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 commitment for full details.
Qtonic Quantum operates on provider-certified cloud infrastructure and documents inherited controls in the Trust Center.
Published Qtonic Quantum Scores carry a cryptographic fidelity commitment. If our scoring system produces a result that deviates from independently verifiable reference evidence beyond acceptable thresholds, we flag it, fix it, and disclose it.
Process
Solutions are 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.
Dimension scores carry provenance tags (verified, contested, inferred, degraded) indicating how the evidence was obtained. This gives consumers per-dimension confidence signals, not just an aggregate number.
Published scores include an audit trail and disclosed review status. 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 No unpublished override can adjust a published score without triggering a full re-evaluation cycle through the published methodology.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.
Discipline
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:
Scope
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 commitment is that when we discover a deviation from verifiable evidence, we correct and disclose it.
Our track record supports the commitment. 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 reference evidence. Scores reflect conditions at the time of evaluation and are not warranties 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 commitment applies to scoring accuracy against independently verifiable reference evidence, 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.

Side-by-side PQC evaluation
Qtonic Quantum Lab scores are independent research opinions based on a published quantitative rubric and automated evaluation of publicly available evidence. Domain-expert review controls are independent of the automated evaluation system, and provenance labels disclose when evidence is verified, contested, inferred, or degraded. No vendor pays for inclusion, ranking, or evaluation. Scores do not constitute endorsement, certification, or legal advice. Methodology is uniformly applied and publicly disclosed. All product names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Solution maintainers may request a methodology retest at any time. Full research disclaimer.
