Methodology

Risk score methodology

Compliance risk score is generated at build-time from deterministic checks. It is not a legal rating and it is not an official government score.

Formula (method v1.0)

Score = round((factors_passed / factors_total_excluding_na) * 10). Factors with status n/a are excluded from the denominator. If all factors are n/a, the block is hidden.

Seven universal factors

1) verified_official_source, 2) international_crosswalk, 3) previous_edition_migration, 4) complete_hierarchy, 5) size_or_threshold_documented, 6) trade_or_export_match, 7) legacy_crosswalk.

Evidence and source policy

Each factor stores status (pass/fail/n/a), one-line evidence, and source URL. This methodology page is an internal project standard, not an external certification framework.
