Harvest Now, Decrypt Later guidance in XQBTS

What HNDL means here

In XQBTS, Harvest Now, Decrypt Later is modeled as exposure pressure. It is not direct telemetry about stolen bytes, adversary operations, or your organization-specific traffic.

How XQBTS uses it

The platform combines a harvestable-share assumption with a quantum-readiness interpretation layer so teams can reason about whether delaying migration increases future decryption risk.

How to use the signal

Treat HNDL as a prioritization aid. It helps frame urgency for long-lived sensitive data, but it should be combined with business criticality, compliance exposure, and architecture constraints.
