Estimating Refund from Cancelled Oneworld Explorer Ticket

I purchased an LONE4 on QR stock from A TA in October CAI-DOH-ORD...., and flew CAI-ORD via DOH. I have since found that for various reasons I will be unable to use the LONE4 within 12 months for the travel I intended.

My preferred option is to cancel this LONE4 and purchase another ticket which would start later.

So I can cancel and request a refund of the amount paid less the fare for the transportation used and a cancellation fee (10% of fare). How can I estimate the "fare for the transportation used" which will apply?

It seems to me the CAI-ORD via DOH fare in L on the date I actually flew it would be the fair way to calculate it.

Or would it be CAI-DOH in L and then DOH-ORD in L?

This decision would seriously affect the amount refunded. Neither the TA nor QR have responded to my request to clarify how the calculation might be done.

Does anyone know how such a refund might/would be calculated?
