This is a curated list/awesome-repo—a meta-resource that collects and organizes existing PQC research, tools, and papers. With 2 stars, 1 fork, zero velocity over 176 days, and no code artifacts, this is a passive information aggregation project with minimal adoption and zero defensibility. The 'awesome-*' pattern is itself commoditized; hundreds of similar curated lists exist on GitHub with higher visibility and maintenance. The README describes a curation mission but provides no novel synthesis, comparative analysis, tooling, or implementation. It serves a valid educational purpose (pointing readers to NIST standards, Kyber/Dilithium implementations, etc.), but is trivially replaceable by another curator or absorbed into existing PQC portals. Frontier labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) have no incentive to build competitive curation—they monitor academic literature through internal channels. The low friction risk reflects that this is not a tool or platform; it is pure reference material that will never be commodified by frontier labs. However, the defensibility is extremely low: without active maintenance, community contributions, or structural uniqueness (e.g., interactive comparison tools, original benchmarks), this repository offers no moat and will be outpaced by higher-visibility PQC resource hubs (e.g., liboqs documentation, NIST PQC project pages, university research portals).
