Conversation
Implements two Pre-Sprint 0 activities from the sprint plan that do not yet exist in the repository: the proposals directory that new entries are routed to, and the published evidence and anchor convention behind the "evidence over speculation" working principle. CONTRIBUTING.md consolidates the contribution routes already described across the README and sprint plan. No existing file is modified.

Implements two Pre-Sprint 0 activities from the
sprint plan
that do not yet exist in the repository:
The wording here is a starting point, not a proposal to change any policy - it
restates what the README and sprint plan already say. Happy to adjust anything to
match how you would rather put it, or to drop any of the three files.
What this adds
proposals/- the directory the sprint plan routes new entries to. It doesnot currently exist, which is why #13 had to place a candidate entry directly in
quantum-top-10/asQSxx_. The README explains the naming convention, pointsat the template, and describes what Sprint 1 does with a proposal, including that
v0.1 entries hold no incumbency so a proposal may displace one.
quantum-top-10/_evidence-convention.md- the demonstrated / emerging /theoretical definitions plus the anchor hierarchy. The tags are the sprint plan's
headline working principle, but the convention has not been written down and no
entry currently carries a tag, so the principle is not yet visible in the
artefact. Named with a leading underscore to sit alongside
_template.mdas ameta file rather than create a new top-level directory.
Two points in it are drawn from what this repository has already run into: cite
primary sources rather than secondary summaries, and keep the verification
comment current when an anchor is superseded. Both are live concerns - the QS08
and QS10 reference comments record earlier mis-citations that had to be
corrected, and
draft-ietf-tls-hybrid-design, cited in QS05 and QS06, waspublished as RFC 9954 this month.
CONTRIBUTING.md- a routing table for the four contribution paths alreadydescribed across the README and sprint plan (proposal, entry feedback, issue,
Google form), the fork-and-PR flow for contributors without write access, the
evidence and vendor-neutrality bar, and the CC BY-SA 4.0 terms.
Notes
quantum-top-10/is modified and no existing file is touched, sothis does not interact with the entry PRs currently open.
evidence field, that field takes precedence over the convention document.
silently decided: how to tag a risk whose exploitation depends on a CRQC. It is
written as "tag by the state of everything except the CRQC", so HNDL collection
is demonstrated while the decryption step is not. Worth confirming that matches
how you intend the tags to be read, since it affects most of QS01-QS07.
