#### Formula & Scoring Methodology

Weighted Compliance Score (%) =

Compliance Score (%) = [ Σ (Field Score × Field Weight) / Σ (5 × Field Weight) ] × 100

Where: Field Score = 0 (not implemented) | 1 (planned) | 3 (partial) | 5 (fully implemented) Field Weight = 0.8 – 1.2 based on regulatory criticality under TDPSA N/A fields = treated as score of 5 (not applicable = no gap)

Weights assigned: 1.2 × weight → Right to Opt-Out, Privacy Notice, Security Program (core TDPSA requirements) 1.0 × weight → All other consumer rights and governance controls 0.8 × weight → Appeal Process, Employee Training, AG Cure Readiness (supporting controls)
