section 508

Section 508 matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around finding and documenting accessibility risks before visitors or clients do, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Accessibility issues create legal, trust, and conversion risk, but teams need prioritized fixes rather than generic scans. The entry wedge is to scan common accessibility failures, prioritize business-critical pages, and produce fix-ready client reports.

The first wedge is to scan common accessibility failures, prioritize business-critical pages, and produce fix-ready client reports.

The unmet need is not the individual complaint. It is the recurring business workflow: Accessibility issues create legal, trust, and conversion risk, but teams need prioritized fixes rather than generic scans. Current stage: commercial watchlist.
