How it operates
Think of CRYSTALS-Kyber as context-bound. A small shop reads it simply; an enterprise reads it with more nuance. That is normal -- CRYSTALS-Kyber is shaped by audience and channel mix. Read CRYSTALS-Kyber without care and the plan wobbles; be precise and the read holds.
The working rule is plain. Agree what CRYSTALS-Kyber covers first, then act on it. Skip that order and CRYSTALS-Kyber loses its shared meaning, and two teams end up measuring two different things. Start here.

|---|---|---|
| Baseline | Read the starting point before any change to CRYSTALS-Kyber. | A reference to judge against. |
| Define | Agreed a single definition of CRYSTALS-Kyber. | Two people, one meaning. |
| Act | A consented-audience rebuild — one variable. | Cause and effect, isolated. |
| Result | Match rates held near 70% after ATT | A call backed by the read. |
