Scoring Rationale

High reporting/disclosure impact (5) due to complete elimination of climate disclosure requirements. Moderate compliance impact (4) for policy updates. Operational and data governance impacts (3) from unwinding established processes. Low scores for areas with minimal direct impact. Aggregate reflects significant but targeted impact on disclosure functions.
