This disclosure covers two patent families within U.S. Provisional Application 64/080,137. Family C-core (Crypto-Agile PQC Migration Controller): the ProfileSelector element, which selects a per-asset issuance profile (classical, hybrid composite, or PQC-native), reads on the per-account/per-order PQC posture selection and adequacy-scoring mechanisms described in the draft; the PQCCompatibilityScorer reads on the compatibility assessment driving algorithm selection during ACME issuance. Family E (C-ext, Risk-Aware Staggered Rotation Scheduler, filed as an independent claim): the step emitting ACME ARI (RFC 9773) renewal windows at computed rotation times reads on the rotation-epoch anchoring and renewal orchestration in the draft.

Note: The individual submitting this template represents and warrants that he or she is authorized by the Patent Holder to agree to the above-selected licensing declaration.
