Scoring Rationale
High impact on reporting/disclosure (5) due to fundamental changes to filer categorization and disclosure framework. Compliance (4) reflects major regulatory framework changes requiring comprehensive program updates. Operational (3) and capital/liquidity (3) reflect significant process changes. Other categories show lower impact as changes focus on reducing rather than increasing requirements.
