Assessment Methodology
How we calculate your Bill 96 compliance risk
Scoring Methodology
Our assessment evaluates your business across 5 key compliance areas defined by Bill 96 and the Charter of the French Language. Each area is weighted based on OQLF enforcement priorities and complaint patterns.

Fine Calculation
Fine estimates are based on the penalty ranges specified in Bill 96 for first-time corporate offenses ($3,000-$30,000 per day). Your estimate is adjusted based on:
- Business size (employee count)
- Industry risk profile
- Number of areas needing attention
- Prior violation history
Data Sources
Our assessment framework is built using publicly available information from the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF), the Charter of the French Language, and Bill 96 legislative text. Penalty ranges reflect the official fines specified in the legislation.
This assessment provides general guidance only and does not constitute legal advice. Actual compliance requirements and penalties are determined by the OQLF based on specific circumstances.
