Note : Since the objective of the evaluation is to find areas of improvement for accessibility, the scoring system is based on the number of errors found and not on the number of correct elements on a given page. A score of 0% is therefore considered perfect, whereas a score of 100% means a multitude of errors were found.
Weighting system
The above scores are calculated out of 10 and take into account Priority 1 and Priority 2 checkpoints. During the evaluation, each question is weighted differently to reflect its impact on accessibility. A negative answer to the question gives no point. A positive answer gives the maximum number of points. Percentage-based questions provide a value between 0 and the maximum number of points. The final score is calculated out of 10.

Legend and context
Definitions
- P / Perceivable (priority 1 or 2) : Ensure that any user can perceive the content. For example, an image without a text equivalent cannot be perceived by a blind person. Also, a sound file without a transcription cannot be perceived by a deaf person.
- O / Operable (priority 1 or 2) : Ensure that all interface elements are operable by any user. For example, a person unable to use a mouse must be able to navigate through content using a keyboard. Data tables and unstructured content make navigating difficult for people who have no overall vision of the screen and have to explore the content line by line.
- U / Understandable (priority 1 or 2) : Make content and controls understandable for as many users as possible. For example, indicating changes in language allows screen reader users to hear content descriptions in their language of choice. Simple language and coherent navigation systems make content more understandable for persons with a cognitive impairment.
- R / Robust (priority 1 or 2) : Web site content must be accessible by current or future technologies, including adaptive technologies (software or hardware allowing persons with disabilities to use a computer independently in order to access information).

- 8,5 à 8,99 = Very good (B+)
- 8,0 à 8,49 = Very good (B)
- 7,5 à 7,99 = Good (C+)
- 7,0 à 7,49 = Good (C)
- 6,5 à 6,99 = Weak (D+)
- 6,0 à 6,49 = Weak (D)
- 3,0 à 5,99 = Very weak (E)
- 0,0 à 2,99 = Extremely weak or nil (F)
