That process might work.

Stanford has run programs on cyber security for congressional staffers.

Is there a chicken-egg problem in this area?

Suppose I had a nutrition-label sort of spec for a retail ISP offering.  How 
would I know if an installation was meeting the specs?  That seems to need a 
way to collect data -- either stand alone programs or patches to existing 
programs like web browsers.

Would it make sense to work on those programs now?  How much could we learn if 
volunteers ran those programs and contributed data to a public data base?  How 
many volunteers would we need to get off the ground?


Could servers collect useful data?  Consider Zoom, YouTube, gmail, downloads 
for software updates...
