Accessibility Conformance Report

Most marketing and app imagery is decorative or text-backed, but a complete alt-text audit of all feature mockups, charts, and generated images is still required.

The scoped product does not include prerecorded audio-only or video-only content.

The scoped product does not include prerecorded video with audio.

The scoped product does not include prerecorded synchronized media.

Pages generally use semantic headings, labels, and native controls. The Discovery Quiz option groups (radiogroup/radio structure with programmatic selection state) were verified with VoiceOver on 2026-07-01. Feature mockups and authenticated app surfaces still need a structure pass.

Core pages are built in a logical document order. The Discovery Quiz reading and focus sequence was verified with keyboard and VoiceOver on 2026-07-01. Responsive layouts and authenticated surfaces still need sequence verification.

Instructions are conveyed with text labels and visible UI copy rather than relying only on shape, color, location, or sound.

Inline links on public and legal pages now carry persistent underlines (not color alone), covered by automated link-in-text-block checks in the CI accessibility suite, last verified passing 2026-07-01. The suite runs on labeled pull requests and manual dispatch. Charts, maps, and selected-state treatments in the authenticated app still need a complete review.

The scoped product does not auto-play audio.

Native links, buttons, and forms are keyboard reachable. The custom Discovery Quiz controls were manually verified keyboard-operable end to end (selection, arrow-key navigation between options, back/next) on 2026-07-01; the College Matchmaker steps carry the same treatment, covered by automated trusted-keyboard tests in the CI accessibility suite, last verified passing 2026-07-01. Authenticated dashboard surfaces and interactive mockups still need the same pass.

No keyboard traps were found in the manual keyboard-only pass of the Discovery Quiz and sign-in flows (2026-07-01). Authenticated app flows still need the same pass.

Blueprint does not expose single-character keyboard shortcuts in the scoped public flows.

The scoped product does not require users to complete quiz, login, or marketing-page tasks within a short timed window.

Animations are primarily decorative and do not block task completion. A reduced-motion and persistent animation review is still required.

No scoped content is designed to flash more than three times per second.

Some pages include skip links, but skip navigation is not yet verified across every public route and quiz step.

Public pages and scoped flows provide page metadata or route-level titles through the Next.js app structure.

The general layout follows DOM order. Quiz-step focus order was manually verified 2026-07-01: on each step change, focus moves to the new question heading so keyboard users keep their place. Responsive states and authenticated surfaces still need verification.

Most links use descriptive visible text. Icon-only and repeated links still need a full accessible-name audit.

The scoped product does not require multipoint or path-based pointer gestures.

Most interactions use native click controls. Custom controls still need review for cancellation and accidental activation behavior.

Visible labels generally match control purpose. A complete audit is still needed for icon buttons, quiz chips, and custom inputs.

The scoped product does not use device motion or user motion as an input method.

The root application layout declares English with html lang="en".

Focused controls are not intended to trigger unexpected navigation or major context changes.

Forms require explicit submission. The Discovery Quiz intentionally advances a moment after an option is selected; the transition is announced to assistive technology via focus management and a Back control is always available (verified 2026-07-01). Because the advance is not separately confirmed, this remains Partially Supports.

Forms show visible errors in key flows. A full pass is needed to confirm every error is programmatically associated with its field.

Most fields have visible prompts or labels. A full audit is still needed for every quiz input, email field, and custom selector.

Markup is generated by React/JSX, which enforces well-formed output. W3C's WCAG 2.1 errata treat this criterion as satisfied for content parsed as HTML, and automated axe-core checks in the CI accessibility suite last verified passing 2026-07-01.

Native controls provide names and roles. The custom Discovery Quiz controls expose correct name, role, and selection state (radiogroup/radio with aria-checked), verified with VoiceOver on 2026-07-01 alongside automated axe-core checks in the CI accessibility suite (last verified passing 2026-07-01). Custom controls in the authenticated app still need the same verification.

The scoped product does not include live audio or live video.

The scoped product does not include prerecorded synchronized media.

The scoped product is responsive and does not restrict use to one display orientation.

Common auth fields can be identified visually. Autocomplete and programmatic input-purpose coverage still need verification.

The eight core public routes in the CI accessibility suite passed automated axe-core AA contrast checks with zero exceptions (last verified 2026-07-01); previously flagged low-contrast text and link colors were fixed, including shared site-wide elements (footer, cookie banner, auth prompts). Remaining marketing routes and authenticated dashboard surfaces have not yet had the same route-by-route pass.

Responsive layouts generally support browser zoom. Full verification at 200 percent zoom is still required.

Primary product and marketing copy is rendered as real text rather than images of text.

Pages are responsive across common mobile and desktop widths. Full reflow testing at WCAG target widths is still needed.

Focus states and controls are visually distinct in many places; the Discovery Quiz focus indicators were made explicit and manually verified 2026-07-01. A full non-text contrast audit is still needed for all controls, charts, and icons.

Layouts use flexible text containers, but text-spacing overrides have not yet been manually verified across all scoped pages.

Most content is visible without hover-only disclosure. Any hover, tooltip, or focus-revealed content still needs a full review.

Public content is reachable through navigation, footer links, direct URLs, and sitemap entries where appropriate.

Most headings and labels describe their topic or purpose. A full page-by-page heading hierarchy audit remains open.

Links and controls have visible focus styles; the Discovery Quiz options and navigation buttons carry explicit high-visibility focus rings, manually verified 2026-07-01. Authenticated app surfaces still need a control-by-control pass.

The scoped product content is primarily English and does not include meaningful passages in other languages.

Public pages use consistent navigation and footer patterns. Quiz steps intentionally use a focused flow.

Repeated actions are generally labeled consistently. A full copy and accessible-name pass remains open.

Many errors include next-step guidance. A full validation pass is still needed for all forms and quiz inputs.

High-impact actions should use confirmation or recovery patterns. Current data export and account flows need formal review before this can be marked Supports.

Sign-in errors and quiz step changes are announced to screen readers automatically (role=alert live regions and focus management), verified with VoiceOver 2026-07-01. Announcement coverage for loading and saving states in the authenticated app still needs verification.
