Scoring Rationale
This proposed rescission represents a significant policy shift but is still in early stages. While reporting/disclosure scores high (4) due to potential fundamental changes to disclosure frameworks, most other categories score lower since this is a proposal to eliminate rather than add requirements. The aggregate score reflects moderate near-term impact during the proposal phase, with higher potential impact if rescission is finalized.
