Wp Accessibility: Accessibility QA and compliance reporting

Wp Accessibility 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.
