ACR Draft

The problem

Universities now ask for an accessibility report before they will buy, even for small purchases. Small software companies have no accessibility staff, and agency audits cost thousands before the report is written.

What it does

Helps small software companies write the accessibility report (a VPAT) that universities and public agencies ask for before they buy. You scan your key screens with a free checker, answer a short guided test for each accessibility rule, and download a finished report in Word, with the evidence behind every answer. It won't let you overstate your product: anything you haven't actually tested stays marked as a draft.

What you get

• Automatic accessibility checks across your product's screens
• A guided checklist for the parts a machine cannot judge
• A report in the standard format that buyers ask for
• Warnings before you claim something you cannot back up

Good to know

It can't do the hands-on testing for you, so the report is only as good as the checks you really carry out.
