What is the QREADI diagnostic mentioned in this module?

A structured framework for scoring your organization’s quantum readiness across five dimensions, used as the foundation for the 90-day action plan you build by the end of the module.

Is this module still relevant if my organization isn't planning to use quantum computing directly?

Yes - understanding the landscape and timeline is the prerequisite for every other module in the Academy, including the cryptography and risk-focused ones.
