The implementation score is based on the rule results across all pages and ranges from 0 to 100.
'-' means there were no rule results for that group (e.g. rules were not applicable).
The following messages give a general idea of the overall implementation of the rules for a website.

Complete
Complete means all rules have passed. There were either no manual checks or all manual checks have been resolved.
R
0
Required Manual Checks
Manual checks are required to verify accessibility. Markup has been identified that needs to be reviewed to determine if accessibility requirements have been met.
Start with the website and page
level manual checks since they affect website and page navigation and identification of
content and then start on the element level manual checks.
AC AC-R
95-99
Almost Complete
Almost Complete means that you seem to understand the accessibility requirements of the rules, and are close to fully implementing their requirements on all pages within the website.
"-R" means there are required Manual Checks. Markup has been identified that needs to be reviewed to determine if accessibility requirements have been met.
PI PI-R
50-94
Partial Implementation
Partial Implementation means that you may understand at least some of the accessibility
requirements.
"-R" means there are required Manual Checks. Markup has been identified that needs to be reviewed to determine if accessibility requirements have been met.
Please re-read the accessibility requirement and
review the techniques before trying to improve the accessibility.
NI NI-R
0-50
Not Implemented
Incomplete means that you do not understand the accessibility
requirements of the rules or did not consider accessibility in the design
of the website.
"-R" means there are required Manual Checks. Markup has been identified that needs to be reviewed to determine if accessibility requirements have been met.
Please read the accessibility requirements and
review the techniques before trying to improve the accessibility.

Not Applicable
No markup was found that identifed a known or possible accessibility issue.
Note: Future versions of FAE will allow you to mark manual checks as, pass, fail or not applicable.
Implementation Score Computation
Implementation Score = P / (P + F + MC)
Each variable represents the number of element level results for a particular rule, where:
P = elements that passed
F = elements that failed
MC = elements that require a manual check
The score ranges in value from 0 to 100, that is from no implementation to all accessibility requirements met. In the future, FAE will allow you to change manual checks to pass, fail or not applicable, and will recompute the Implementation Score based on the updated manual checking results.
Note: When a manual check is changed to not applicable that element result is removed from the implementation score computation.
Implementation Score Combinations
Implementation scores are rule-based and are computed for the following combinations:
Pages
Rules

Element level results determine the implementation score for a rule on a specific page.

All
The implementation score for a page is the average of all implementation scores for all rules on the page, with all rules being equally weighted.
All

The implementation score for a rule across all the pages in a website is based on the aggregation of all element results for the rule across all pages.

The implementation score for a website is the average of the website rule implementation scores.
