Evaluation methodSelf-assessment using automated scans, scripted keyboard and behavior tests, reflow / text-spacing / forced-colors emulation, and source review. See the evidence key. Independent audit and assistive-technology testing: pending.
Applicable standardsWCAG 2.2 A and AA; Revised Section 508 (36 CFR 1194, Appendix C); EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (with the WCAG 2.2 additions expected in V4.x)

1. Summary
----------

Of the 55 WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA success criteria, IdeaLine supports 47, partially supports 1, does not support 0 and finds 7 not applicable (media criteria; IdeaLine has no audio or video). The one partial criterion is 3.3.4 (optional delete confirmation). The one failing requirement is outside WCAG: the calendar PDF download is not a tagged PDF (Section 508 504.2.2).

  * This report is a self-assessment by the IdeaLine team. It has not been verified by an independent accessibility auditor.
  * Automated and scripted checks do not replace testing with assistive technology. Screen-reader testing (NVDA with Firefox and Chrome, JAWS with Chrome, VoiceOver with Safari on macOS and iOS, TalkBack with Chrome) and voice-control testing (Dragon, Voice Control) are planned and have not yet been completed. Until they are, criteria that depend on screen-reader behavior are reported on the basis of code review and automated checks.
  * WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA (including the nine new criteria) are evaluated. Section 508 incorporates WCAG 2.0 A and AA for web content; WCAG 2.2 is a superset, so conformance to the table below also demonstrates conformance to WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 A and AA, except where the table notes otherwise.
  * The only criterion marked "Partially Supports" is 3.3.4 (optional delete confirmation). The only "Does Not Support" item is the non-tagged calendar PDF export (Section 508 504.2.2).

Terms: Supports: the functionality has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects. Partially Supports: some functionality does not meet it. Does Not Support: the majority does not meet it. Not Applicable: the criterion is not relevant to the product.

2. WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA

Meaningful Sequence (Level A) | Supports | Reading order follows source order; layouts that reorder visually keep a logical DOM order. | E2 E6 |
1.3.3
Sensory Characteristics (Level A) | Supports | Instructions never rely only on shape, color, position or sound. | E6 |
1.3.4
Orientation (Level AA) | Supports | No orientation lock; layouts work in portrait and landscape. | E3 |
1.3.5
Identify Input Purpose (Level AA) | Supports | Sign-in, access request and profile fields carry autocomplete tokens (username, current-password, new-password, name, email, organization). | E1 E6 |
1.4.1
Use of Color (Level A) | Supports | Status, selection and errors are also shown with text, icons, borders or shape. Links in body text are underlined. | E5 E6 |

1.4.12
Text Spacing (Level AA) | Supports | Increasing line, paragraph, letter and word spacing causes no clipping or overlap on tested pages. | E4 |
1.4.13
Content on Hover or Focus (Level AA) | Supports | No custom hover or focus pop-ups; tooltips are the browser's own. Menus open on click and close with Escape. | E6 |
2.1.1

2.4.2
Page Titled (Level A) | Supports | Every page has a unique, descriptive title. | E1 |
2.4.3
Focus Order (Level A) | Supports | Focus order follows the visual order; dialogs move focus in and return it to the trigger on close. | E2 E7 |

Pointer Cancellation (Level A) | Supports | Actions run on release (click); a drag can be cancelled with Escape. | E6 E7 |
2.5.3
Label in Name (Level A) | Supports | Visible labels are contained in the accessible names of controls. | E1 E6 |
2.5.4
Motion Actuation (Level A) | Not Applicable | No function is triggered by device motion. |  |
2.5.7
Dragging Movements (Level AA) | Supports | Every drag has a single-pointer alternative: card, calendar and idea moves via the edit form (status, dates); tab and list reordering via Move up / Move down buttons. | E2 E7 |
2.5.8
Target Size (Minimum) (Level AA) | Supports | Interactive targets are at least 24 by 24 CSS px, or are inline text links or have sufficient spacing. | E1 |

3.1.2
Language of Parts (Level AA) | Supports | All content is in English. | E6 |
3.2.1
On Focus (Level A) | Supports | Focusing an element does not change context. | E2 |
3.2.2
On Input (Level A) | Supports | Changing a control does not submit or navigate without warning; the calendar size menu updates the view in place and returns focus to itself. | E2 E7 |
3.2.3

3.2.4
Consistent Identification (Level AA) | Supports | The same icons and labels mean the same thing across the site and app. | E6 |

3.3.3
Error Suggestion (Level AA) | Supports | Messages say how to fix the problem. | E7 |
3.3.4
Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data) (Level AA) | Partially Supports | Deleting a person, a project, an account or a whole workspace asks for confirmation, and importing a backup asks first. A user may tick "Don't ask me again" for ordinary item deletes, after which those deletes are immediate and cannot be undone. Planned: an Undo toast or recycle bin. | E7 |
3.3.7
Redundant Entry (Level A) | Supports | Forms ask for each item once; the access request and sign-in forms are single step. | E6 |
3.3.8
Accessible Authentication (Minimum) (Level AA) | Supports | Sign-in works with a password manager (autocomplete set, paste allowed) or an emailed sign-in link. There is no puzzle, memory test or transcription step. | E6 E7 |
4.1.2
Name, Role, Value (Level A) | Supports | Native elements are used first; custom widgets (tabs, combobox, switches, dialogs, toggle buttons) expose name, role, state and value. | E1 E6 |
4.1.3
Status Messages (Level AA) | Supports | Toasts, results counts and form errors use status or alert live regions. | E6 E7 |

Success criterion 4.1.1 Parsing was removed in WCAG 2.2; it is covered by EN 301 549 9.4.1.1 below.

Status of the standard: V3.2.1 is the version currently cited in the Official Journal for the presumption of conformity. A revised edition (V4.1.1, adding the WCAG 2.2 criteria) was published by ETSI in September 2026 and is expected to be cited later. [Check the current citation status with counsel before relying on this paragraph]

5. ADA
------

The Americans with Disabilities Act has no technical standard of its own for private products. The Department of Justice's Title II rule (state and local governments) adopts WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and courts commonly look to WCAG for Title III (businesses open to the public). IdeaLine's conformance to WCAG 2.2 AA, shown above, is intended to help public-sector and private customers meet those obligations. This report is not legal advice and does not certify compliance with any law.

6. Evidence key
---------------

Evidence
Code | Method |
E1 | Automated rule scan (names, labels, roles, ARIA references, landmarks, headings, duplicate IDs, contrast, target size) on every site page, legal page and app view, in light and dark themes at 1360 px and 390 px wide. |
E2 | Keyboard walkthrough in a real browser: Tab / Shift+Tab / Enter / Space / Esc / arrow keys, checking that every control is reachable, shows a focus indicator and is not hidden under sticky or fixed content. |
E3 | Reflow and zoom: no two-dimensional scrolling at 320 CSS px wide (equivalent to 400% zoom on a 1280 px screen). |
E4 | Text-spacing override (line height 1.5, paragraph spacing 2x, letter spacing 0.12em, word spacing 0.16em) with a check for clipped or overlapping text. |
E5 | Emulation of dark mode, forced-colors (high contrast), and reduced motion. |
E6 | Manual review of the source markup, ARIA use and scripts. |
E7 | Scripted behavior tests: session time-out warning, form errors, dialogs and focus return, drag alternatives, consent banner. |
E8 | Downloadable document checks: tagged PDF structure, Word heading styles, text equivalents. |

Full test output and the feature-by-feature audit are in the accessibility audit package supplied with the product ("audit" folder) and available to customers on request.
