How the gate works
This tool grades a lead-capture form's prior-express-written-consent readiness. It scores 6 weighted controls into a 0–100 number — then a gate that can only make the verdict worse.
The 6 weighted controls
A pre-checked opt-in box (not affirmative), no retained per-consumer consent record, or purchased data with no provenance forces NOT DEFENSIBLE regardless of the score. Consent you can't prove — or a box the user never actively checked — isn't consent you can defend.
Why: Disclosure, signature capture, record-keeping, and revocation are all in place — the form scores 80. But the opt-in box is pre-checked (not affirmative), and that's a gate: a pre-checked box isn't consent the person actively gave. The verdict is forced to NOT DEFENSIBLE regardless of the score.
A high score didn’t save it. The score is context; the gate is the answer — and it names the one thing to fix first. Grades the prior-express-written-consent readiness of forms, not people, and deliberately doesn't grade the vacated one-to-one rule. A readiness aid, not legal advice — confirm your obligations with counsel.
