THE PQC MIGRATION BUDGET BUILDER TURNS DEADLINES AND ESTATE COUNTS INTO A DEFENSIBLE BUDGET REQUEST

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

The PQC Migration Budget Builder is a free, browser-only tool that converts regulatory deadlines and rough estate counts into an itemized year-one ask, a three-scenario program estimate, and a draft board paper for post-quantum migration. It maps 33 regimes, including the EU roadmap, OMB M-26-15, DORA, and PCI DSS v4.0.1, to buffered priority and full-migration dates, then prices compression, refresh-funded savings, and the cost of delaying migration by one to three years. Each unit cost is labeled by source and editable, allowing CISOs and finance partners to stress-test the numbers before discovery replaces the estimates.
