An orange line your compliance score charts indicates that the results of the success criteria for the new method are measured by a different standard, and the pass/fail criteria of the two methods may impact your compliance score. Your accessibility compliance score can change when the scanning method is changed or when you change the level of compliance.

Changed accessibility guidelines causes a jump in the report 
-------------------------------------------------------------

The line occurs on the date of the next scan after the change takes place. The left side of the line shows the score from the previous guidelines, and the right side of the line shows the new score.
