Bigger products (more than 15 screens, native mobile apps, desktop software) get a fixed quote before any work starts. You never pay more than the quote.
What you get
- A complete ACR on the official ITI VPAT 2.5 template: every Level A and AA success criterion answered with a conformance level and a remark that explains it. No blank rows, no "Supports" without a reason.
- A clear scope statement: product name and version, test dates, which screens and flows were tested, and the tools, browsers and screen readers used. Buyers check for this.
- A list of the issues found, with where they occur and how serious they are, so your team can fix them and update the report later.
How the testing is done
Testing is AI-assisted, and we say so in every report. Automated scanners (axe-core, Pa11y, Lighthouse) and scripted checks do a first pass and draft a remark for each row. Then a person tests the product by keyboard and with a screen reader, reviews every row, and rewrites any remark that is wrong or vague. Automated tools can settle only a handful of the 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA criteria on their own, so nothing in the report goes out on a tool's word alone.
How our VPAT audit works, step by step
Want to see what a scan alone finds, and what it leaves for a person? Try the free VPAT readiness check on up to three pages of your product.
What we will not promise
No report can make a product "compliant", "certified" or "lawsuit-proof", and we do not claim that. An ACR is your company's own statement of how your product conformed on the dates it was tested. Most real products have some "Partially Supports" rows, and procurement teams expect them. Every "Supports" also needs a remark that explains it: reviewers question answers with no explanation.
If your product has issues that matter, the report says so plainly, explains them, and you get the list to fix them.
Who asks for a VPAT or ACR
US federal agencies, many state governments, universities, school districts and large companies ask software vendors for an Accessibility Conformance Report before they buy or renew. Many bids list it as a required document, and some buyers want one dated within the last 12 months. Read what an ACR is and who requires one, with links to the actual rules.
