No charge · no obligation
Send us one statement. We will send back one page
We read your published accessibility statement against the regulation that actually governs you, and tell you what a careful reader would ask. One entity, one statement, one page of findings. There is no charge and no obligation. We may follow up with information about the deadlines that apply to you. Twice at most, and we will stop if you ask.
How it works
Three steps, about a week
You send a link
The address of your published accessibility statement. Nothing else. No forms, no access, no call required.
We read it
Against 28 C.F.R. § 35.200, the Virginia ITAA, and the standard the regulation incorporates. We run an automated check on the page the statement sits on, to orient what we read.
You get a page
What your statement claims, which authority it names, whether that authority sets your obligation, and what a reviewer would ask next. Every point carries its citation and the date we checked it.
What you get
Four questions, answered against your own words
Which authority does your statement name?
And does that authority set your obligation? Section 508 binds federal agencies. Section 504 attaches to federal funding. Neither is the provision that gives a Virginia public body a web accessibility deadline.
Which standard, and is it the right version?
28 C.F.R. § 35.200(b)(3) incorporates WCAG 2.1 Levels A and AA. A statement naming 2.0 is naming a standard that predates twelve of the criteria you are measured against.
Does your statement carry a date?
Two are in circulation and they may not agree. We show you both readings and which one applies to an entity of your size.
Does your scope match your estate?
A statement covering “our website” does not reach the portals your users sign in to. Under § 35.200(a), content supplied under contract is still your obligation.
Boundaries
What this is not
A free artifact that implied more than it delivered would be worth less than nothing.
Not an audit
One statement and the page it sits on. Not your estate, not your documents, not your portals.
Not a conformance determination
Automated checks detect a minority of failures under any ruleset. They cannot establish that a site conforms, and the absence of a finding is not evidence of conformance.
Not legal advice
Where the question is legal it belongs with your counsel, and we will say so.
Not a sales call
If the answer is that your statement is in good order, we will say that and there is nothing further to discuss.
Why free
Because the reading is quick and the value is in being right
Reading one statement against the regulation takes us under an hour. We would rather spend it and be judged on what comes back than describe our method in the abstract.
It is also how we keep our own references current. Every statement we read tells us something about how Virginia public bodies are approaching this, and that research is what the paid work rests on.
What we do with it
Findings go to you alone. We do not publish, share, or discuss any entity's position, and we do not name any organization in our public material. Where a pattern appears across several entities we may describe the pattern, never the entity.
If you want more
The paid version reads your whole position
The Conformance Readiness Review is the same reading extended to your whole estate, your grievance route under § 35.107, and the conformance documentation you hold from your suppliers under § 2.2-3503. Fixed scope, fixed fee, two weeks.
Conformance Readiness Review for institutions · and for vendors

One link is all we need. We will tell you what we find, including if we find nothing worth acting on.
