Status, not a conformance claim: This engineering report combines a hand-maintained checklist with automated source, component, and browser checks. Passing these selected checks does not establish WCAG conformance for the whole service.
Verification still required: Manual assistive-technology testing, user testing, and an independent audit have not been completed. Last reviewed: 2026-08-27.

criteria still needing review
Automated checks cover selected semantics, names, keyboard interactions, contrast, reflow, and cross-browser behavior. Manual screen-reader and usability verification remain outstanding.

# Creed Space Accessibility Engineering Checklist Hand-maintained engineering checklist (not a complete automated or manual audit). Last reviewed: 2026-08-27. ## Selected Check Status - **Total Criteria Checked**: 28 - **Passed**: 26 (93%) - **Partial**: 2 (7%) - **Failed**: 0 (0%) ## Checks Grouped by WCAG Level - **Level A**: 11/11 passed (100%) - **Level AA**: 15/17 passed (88%) ## Scope and Limits **WCAG 2.2 AA verification is in progress. This checklist is not a conformance declaration.** Manual screen-reader testing, user testing with people who use assistive technology, and independent review remain required. ## Areas Needing Attention - **1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)** (Level AA): PARTIAL - Most text meets requirements, some subtle text may need review - **1.4.11 Non-text Contrast** (Level AA): PARTIAL - Most components meet requirements, review needed for subtle borders ## Recommendations 1. Conduct manual contrast ratio testing for borderline cases 2. Test with actual screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) 3. Perform user testing with individuals who use assistive technologies 4. Regular accessibility audits with automated tools (axe DevTools)
