INCLUSIVE DESIGN

What is an ACR (VPAT)?

An Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR)—based on the industry-standard VPAT® template—summarizes how your product conforms to WCAG and Section 508, with methods, remarks, and known gaps. Procurement teams use ACRs to evaluate risk and plan accommodations.

You’ll be asked for an ACR when:

  • Responding to public-sector or higher-ed RFPs

  • Completing enterprise vendor onboarding or annual reviews

  • Renewing contracts after major UI or workflow changes

OW IT WORKS

10 business days

  • Kickoff & access (staging creds, roles, design system/components)

  • Testing (keyboard; NVDA on Windows; VoiceOver on macOS/iOS; Chrome & Safari)

  • Draft findings focused on quick wins

  • Final delivery: ACR (VPAT) + report + dev guide

How we handle redactions

To protect your product and users, public ACRs exclude sensitive details.
Typical redactions include:

  • Internal URLs, server names, commit hashes

  • PII and user data

  • Security-sensitive admin flows and architecture notes

  • Proprietary code snippets or design tokens not essential to the finding

What we need from you

Staging or demo access + test accounts (include admin/edge roles)

  1. Any design system tokens/components (if available)

  2. A single point of contact for quick Q&A during the 10-day window
