Monthly quantum claims intelligence for security, risk, strategy, and investment decision-makers. We track the milestone dependencies that gate real quantum progress — not the calendar dates that don't.
FREE. No card, no trial clock. Monthly issue. Unsubscribe is one click.
Quantum advantage isn't a date on a calendar — it's a sequence of specific technical milestones, each one gating the next. Some have fallen. Some are close. Some are further than anyone's admitting. If you know what to watch, you can see the dawn before it breaks.
What actually moved this month, what it means, and what has to happen next. Not "better qubits" — which error rates, coherence times, and connectivity thresholds gate which applications.
When a lab publishes a "breakthrough," we read the paper, surface the caveats, and tell you what actually changed in the competitive landscape. News sites quote the press release. We grade it.
Which "quantum safe" and quantum-advantage claims moved through the market this cycle. How they grade. What your vendor-risk team should ask before accepting them.
Conditional forecasts: "if IBM achieves X and error correction reaches Y, Z becomes possible." The chain you need to evaluate claims yourself — not a conclusion to accept.

Monthly issue, sent the first week of each month. Milestone alerts are sent within 48 hours when a material development warrants it. You will never receive marketing emails — only intelligence and alerts.
Security and risk leaders fielding "quantum safe" vendor claims. Investors evaluating quantum opportunities on evidence instead of timeline promises. Strategists who need to understand what quantum means for their industry. Technical leaders assessing whether quantum is relevant to specific computational challenges. Anyone who's realized "5 years away" isn't a useful answer.
Yes. The Signal Flare is written for decision-makers, not physicists. If a milestone matters for vendor selection, investment timing, or competitive positioning, we explain why in plain terms. The technical depth is there for those who want it, but every issue concludes with plain-English decision implications.
News sites report announcements. We grade them. When a lab claims a breakthrough, news quotes the press release; we read the paper, run the claim against the five failure modes, and tell you what actually changed. Intelligence, not coverage. The distinction matters most when the announcement is designed to move markets or close procurement decisions.
Because we grade ourselves with the same instrument. Two multi-year results of our own — including one confirmed inside Project Eleven's Q-Day Prize — are publicly retracted in the Research & Corrections log. The falsification machinery has no favorites. We sell no migration products, no hardware, no referral services — the analysis is the only thing on offer.
No. You receive the Scorecard 001 immediately, then the monthly Signal Flare. If you become interested in a paid audit, there's a link to submit a claim — that's the extent of it. The Signal Flare is the product, not a funnel.
