- Length: ~90 seconds
- Audience: procurement, accessibility, and IT leads who receive vendor accessibility docs and must judge them before buying.

Read the accessibility requirements. Use a synthetic vendor ACR (“Acme LMS VPAT”), not a real vendor’s document.

| 1 | 0:00–0:09 | A dense vendor VPAT document scrolls by; a question mark over a “Buy?” button. | ”A vendor sent you a fifty-page accessibility report. Is their product actually usable — and what’s the risk if it isn’t? Let’s grade it, free.” | Free · Grade any VPAT/ACR |
| 2 | 0:09–0:20 | The evaluate screen: a .docx is dragged in; then a URL is pasted and “Parse URL” clicked. | ”Upload the VPAT or ACR — Word, PDF, or HTML — or paste a link to a published one; we fetch it server-side. It’s parsed into criteria and product details.” | Upload or paste URL |
| 3 | 0:20–0:30 | Auto-detected type shows “Software”; a “Change product type” control is highlighted. | ”It detects whether the product is software, hardware, or hybrid — which sets whether it’s graded against WCAG and the right Section 508 chapters.” | Software · Hardware · Hybrid |
| 4 | 0:30–0:40 | Optional resource fields: annual cost and user counts are typed in. | ”Add the cost and how many people use it, and the report turns accessibility gaps into a real risk level and estimated affected-user counts.” | Cost + users → risk |

Voiceover transcript
A vendor sent you a fifty-page accessibility report. Is their product actually usable — and what’s the risk if it isn’t? Let’s grade it, free.
Upload the VPAT or ACR — Word, PDF, or HTML — or paste a link to a published one; we fetch it server-side. It’s parsed into criteria and product details.
It detects whether the product is software, hardware, or hybrid — which sets whether it’s graded against WCAG and the right Section 508 chapters.
Add the cost and how many people use it, and the report turns accessibility gaps into a real risk level and estimated affected-user counts.
Every criterion shows the vendor’s claim — and you can override a rating or add a note. The grade recalculates as you go.
You get a letter grade for WCAG 2.1 and 2.2, a risk badge, and an impact breakdown across seven disability groups — from blindness to motor and cognitive.
A remediation roadmap orders what to fix first. Export a PDF, editable HTML, or CSV — and if it grades C, D, or F, generate a Texas EAE exception packet for procurement.
Know exactly what you’re buying — before you sign. It’s free.
Accuracy notes
- “ACR” and “VPAT” are used interchangeably (same document). Free; no card.
- Product-type detection (Software / Hardware / Hybrid) sets WCAG 2.1/2.2 (A & AA) and/or Section 508 chapters; user can override.
- Grades both WCAG 2.1 and 2.2; disability-impact spans seven groups (blindness, low vision, colorblindness, hearing loss, cognitive, motor, epilepsy).
- EAE exception packet only when the grade is C, D, or F (Texas §2054.460) —
