Liability vs. Effort
Every axis score is on a 1 (low) to 5 (very high) scale, assessed across five factors: Effort, Liability, Market Impact, Data Intensity, and Enforcement Risk. Position on this chart reflects Effort and Liability only - hover or click a dot for the full profile.

Section 3 · Scoring Methodology
How the Scores Work
Every regulation is assessed by Aurie's Knowledge Hub across five factors, each on a 1 (low) to 5 (very high) scale. The chart above plots Effort against Liability; the other three factors appear in each regulation's five-factor radar. Scores are qualitative, analyst-assessed judgements - not figures published by the EU - intended to help you triage where to focus first, not to replace legal advice.
Effort
The operational lift to comply - systems, headcount, process change, and time required to become and stay compliant.
1Minimal - light-touch, existing processes cover it
5Very high - new systems, teams, or controls needed
Liability
The severity of legal exposure if a business gets it wrong - civil, criminal, or market-access consequences.
1Minimal - no meaningful personal or corporate exposure
5Very high - criminal, uncapped, or market-exclusion exposure
Market Impact
How much the regulation reshapes competitive dynamics, cost structures, or access to the EU market for affected sectors.
1Minimal - narrow or niche market effect
5Very high - reshapes competition or market access EU-wide
Data Intensity
The volume, granularity, and assurance burden of the data a business must collect, verify, and disclose.
1Minimal - a handful of simple data points
5Very high - granular, audited, multi-source datasets
Enforcement Risk
How actively and consistently the regulation is actually policed across member states today.
1Minimal - rarely enforced or not yet applicable
5Very high - mature, active, well-resourced enforcement
Categories aggregate each regulation's original EU policy area into one of six buckets - Environment, Social, Governance, Product, Finance, Data & Reporting - to make the map scannable. A handful of regulations are genuinely cross-cutting (e.g. the CSDDD touches both human rights and environmental due diligence); each is placed under its primary driver.
Timeline filtering uses each regulation's first stated compliance year. Long-standing "ongoing" obligations (e.g. GDPR, REACH) are always shown, since they already apply regardless of the year selected. Withdrawn, stalled, or merely proposed instruments (dashed dot outline) are always shown too, so you don't lose sight of them - but they carry no compliance date.
Data currency: stress-tested against current EU legal status as of July 2026, including the Omnibus I changes to CSRD and CSDDD. Given how fast this area moves, treat this as a point-in-time snapshot and revisit quarterly.
