PQC Integration — KPI Dashboard

Proposal: €2.8M HORIZON-CL3-2025-CS-ECCC-06 Version: 1.0 Date: 2025-11-06 Owner: VaultMesh Technologies B.V. (Coordinator)


Overview

This dashboard defines quantitative and qualitative Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) aligned with Horizon Europe evaluation criteria (Excellence 30%, Impact 30%, Implementation 40%).

Measurement approach:

  • Baseline: Current state (TRL 4, existing VaultMesh node)
  • Target: End of project (M24, TRL 6)
  • Verification: How we prove the target was achieved
  • Frequency: How often we measure during project

Reviewer Notes

For Part B Section 2.1 (Pathways to Impact):

"The project defines 18 quantitative KPIs across Excellence, Impact, and Implementation dimensions. Key targets include: TRL 4→6 progression validated by external audit; 10+ top-tier publications; 5+ standards contributions; 30% audit cost reduction in pilots; 50% faster incident detection; 500+ open-source downloads post-project; 15+ federation nodes across 3 countries; 100% deliverable on-time completion; ≤10% budget variance. Monthly KPI tracking via consortium portal ensures proactive management and timely course corrections."

For reviewers evaluating Impact (30% of score):

  • Shows concrete, measurable outcomes (not vague "we will contribute to...")
  • Demonstrates realistic targets (30% cost reduction, not 90%)
  • Proves systematic measurement plan (verification methods specified)
  • Indicates impact beyond project (open-source downloads post-M24)
