What could Australia spend on post-quantum migration?

A bottom-up model connects organisation counts, migration costs and the share reaching outside vendors.

Scenario

01 / Browser model

Spend by year

Chart. Use the left and right arrow keys to move between years; Home and End select the first and last year; Escape hides the reading.

From buyers to annual demand

Inventory spending comes first. Migration spending follows the selected timing profile; deadlines help explain that profile, rather than determine it.

Annual values and chart controls

In the chart, the left and right arrow keys move one year, Home and End select the first and last year, and Escape hides the reading.

02 / Browser model

The bottom-up build

Organisation counts × unit cost × cost multiplier × share migrating × vendor share, with hyperscaler substitution removed from migration.

S Sourced: a public record. A Assumption, or derived from one. Select a count or a unit cost to open its record.

04 / Recorded evidence

Deadlines that set the timing

Dates as each source states them. A foreign deadline is context for Australian buyers, not an Australian legal obligation.

05 / Recorded forecasts + browser model

Against the published forecasts

Annual flows on one basis: each global forecast is scaled to Australia and converted to Australian dollars. A cumulative Australian total is never set against one year of global revenue.

Market map

Deal comparisons

Financing, acquisitions, valuations and infrastructure plans are different evidence. Undisclosed is not zero.

07 / Thesis under test

Risks to the thesis

The model makes uncertainty visible; it does not remove it.

08 / Scope, evidence and limitations

Method notes

A checkable estimate rests on explicit boundaries, not just a headline.
