Continuous statutory intelligence tracking ADA Title II/III litigation, DOJ consent decrees, municipal compliance deadlines, and WCAG 2.2 criteria.
Source-grounded legal syntheses updated continuously.
When the W3C pulled APCA from WCAG 3 in July 2023, it should have ended the dangerous practice of treating experimental contrast algorithms as compliance standards.

WebAIM detected 56,114,377 errors across the top million home pages — and the buried finding isn't the six failure categories. Pages using ARIA average 17 more errors than pages without it. Astro ships 84% fewer errors than average. Chinese-language pages average 136 errors vs. English at 46. The 2026 data shows what's actually broken.
