ANCR refers to an Anchored Notice & Consent Receipt, it is a record that is generated using the Transparency Performance Indicator that assess the operational conformance of the record of processing and its compliance with legislation.
Note: In ANCR Consent Notice Receipt specification, the record and receipt is generated with a PII Controller Identity

This specification relies on (open access to) ISO/IEC 29100 Security techniques, Privacy framework and ISO/IEC 29184 online privacy notices and consent, and the Consent Notice Receipt, which is a digitally twinned record information structure, Consent Receipt v1.1.4

Abstract
Since the first signatory in 1980, the international standardisation of security and privacy law has been underway to become formalised into regulation that is now enforceable upon its implemented as legislation in Commonwealth countries, like the EU through the General Data Protection Regulation and Canada through Quebec Law 25. This has paved the way for the ratification of the updated to the 108 Convention from the Council of Europe to Convention 108+. The international commonwealth privacy framework, which is interoperable with the ISO/iEC 29100 security and privacy framework, also widely adopted and open access.
...
In Part 2 of the scheme (in the Appendix A) a transparency information request is sent to the controller using the PII Controller Record that is generated in Part 1 of the assessment scheme to; a) test the operational performance of transparency and consent information by making a rights request or complaint and, b) assess compliance in accordance to the international adequacy baseline.
Application
4 Transparency Performance Indicators asses transparency signalling in Part 1,
...
In Part 2, the record is used to send a digital privacy rights request, which is then made to operational performance and integrity of the notice, notification and disclosures.

4 TPI’s
The 4 Transparency Performance Indicators capture transparency and data capture practices in context and are used to test the self-asserted information for its operational usability.

The following describes an assessment using the TPIs to measure Operational Transparency and assurance.
...
Transparency is required to be available in context, i.e., during the time when PII is obtained (found in Transparency Statement or Privacy Policy).8
Time period data stored.
Existence of rights/controls to access and rectify.
Existence of right to manage consent.
Existence of right to lodge a complaint with a Data Protection Authority (DPA).
Whether processing is based under a statutory, or contractual context, or whether necessary for entering a contract, if the PII is obliged, and the consequences of failure to provide this data.9
Existence of
AI, or any automated decision-making technology
Digital identity management surveillance technologies
Any profiles, or graphs generated
Meaningful information about the logic involved
Significance in overall policy or processing and decision making
Expected consequences for and to PII Principal - Data Subject

The TPI Rating system is designed to measure the operational performance of the information, for example if only a mailing address is provided for a privacy contact on a website, this is considered non-operable according to the context. This means that privacy access and specific information is not retrievable in the context of data collection. The TPIs measure adequacy and demonstrate non-performance by PII Controllers as a form of data co-governance.
The associated Conformity Assessment: uses the open ISO/IEC 29100 security framework for generating interoperable records and receipts of data processing activity, according to transparency in context.

a. TPI 1 measuring the point when the individual is notified versus when personal information/digital identifiers are collected and processed. The scheme starts by capturing the timing of notice presentation in relation to first data capture, and first contact.10
...
Combined, these TPIs provide an overall Indication of the operational state of digital privacy.

Rating - Instruction | TPI 1 Timing (with regards to processing) | TPI 2 Required Information | TPI 3 Accessibility | TPI 4 - Digital Security |
+1 (assured) | PII Controller credential is displayed, using a standard format with machine readable language, and linked, for example, in an http header in a browser | The Controller is discoverable prior to session (out of band) in a machine-readable format: 1.Controller Registry 2.A client-side record of processing (via a wallet or browser) | Controller identity is presented prior to data collection | Security is required prior to collection (digital wallet based)
|
0 (dynamic assurance) | PII Controller Identity or credential is provided in first notice | Credential is presented just in time (automated check and first-time notice) | Embedded as a credential and dynamically available upon access (almost just in time) | Assurance provided– e.g., certificate is specific to and matches controller and context. |
-1 (analogue assurance - online) | The Controller Identity, or screen with the Controller Identity is one screen and click away. For example, the privacy policy link in the footer of a webpage | Controller information is accessible (not presented) during collection | PII Controller Identity prominently displayed on first view – prior to processing first page of viewing | Not-specific to controller - does not match jurisdiction. |
-2 - (not mandatory in flow) |
| Controller Credential information is linked during collection | is linked not presented | Does not match OU |
-3 (non-operative) | PII Controller Identity is not accessible enough to be considered ‘provided’ | Controller information not present | Identity or credential is not accessible in context - e.g., two or more screens of view away, or privacy contact is mailing g address and non-operative in context of data collection. | It is not a valid, secure, or recognized provider. |

These digital transparency code of conduct rules coincide with the TPIs presented and reference the international adequacy requirements for transparency required for digital identifier management. In Report on the Adequacy of Digital Identity Governance for cross border transparency and consent:
...
Provide their PII Controller Notice Credentials, before or at the time of processing personal information (TPI 1), Article 14.1
PII Controller credential information must be accessible
PII Controller credential information must be operationally capable for access to rights with evidence of notice & consent
The security context must match the controller’s jurisdiction where it is assumed PII is processed
