Accessibility remediation is not a single scanner run, overlay, or launch-day checklist. It is an evidence, design, engineering, content, and operating process.
Establish representative evidence
Start with the pages, templates, components, content types, documents, devices, and assistive-technology journeys that matter. Automated tools can identify some issues; manual keyboard, focus, semantics, content, contrast, zoom, and screen-reader checks provide different evidence.
Prioritize by barrier and reach
Group issues by the barrier they create, the number of places they repeat, the importance of the journey, and the effort or dependency required to correct them. A shared component defect can be more consequential than an isolated page issue.
Fix the system, not only the instance
Update component patterns, design guidance, content rules, authoring tools, tests, and ownership so the same barrier is less likely to return. Preserve before-and-after evidence for representative cases.
Retest and record what remains
Retesting should use the same reproduction path and include the affected journey. Record what passed, what remains, what could not be tested, and who owns the next decision.
State the limit honestly
An implementation or audit scope is not automatically a conformance determination, legal opinion, or permanent condition. Publish a useful feedback route and keep the statement aligned with what has actually been reviewed.
