Gate. Named scope only — no citywide conformance stamp, no overlay product.
The opinion behind it
A passing scanner score on a page nobody can use is not accessibility. Named scope, evidence, and a handoff beat a citywide conformance claim we cannot honestly make.
Same method as the rest of the firm: Understand → map → improve → evidence and a handoff.
- Named inventoryThe site, the PDFs, the map — this set, not the city.
- Who is blockedRanked findings. What sits outside this set is left alone.
- First sliceOne bounded cut off that ranking. Not an overlay.
- Evidence fileYours to keep. A person signs; the file says who.
The named-slice loop, left to right. A named set is inventoried, findings are ranked by who is blocked, a first slice is cut from that ranking, and the evidence file is handed over. A branch off the ranking is deliberate: what sits outside this named set is left alone rather than dressed up as a citywide stamp. There is no overlay product in this drawing.
Named outcomes4 things you keep
- An evidence pack a procurement file can hold
- A named first slice, not a citywide promise
- Accessible documents or a GIS release pack, sized after inventory
- A handoff your team can maintain

Named accessibility consulting
Testing of a named site, product, or file set. A person checks the finding.

What this covers6 areas, and where each one bites
- Evidence packInventory, ranked findings, a first-slice recommendation. The thing a procurement file can hold.
- Named first sliceOne property, one document set, one workflow. Bounded. Handed over with evidence.
- Accessible documentsPublic packets a screen reader can use, batched after we see the library. Not guessed from a page count on a call.
- Public digital workflowsThe intake, the form, the posting. Mapped, improved, recorded.
- GIS release wrapAccessibility and document wrap on a named GIS release. Production drawing, when needed, via a named teammate.
- HandoffA file your team can keep current. The evidence trail stays if the firm is no longer on the work.
Named scope only. Nothing on this sheet is a citywide conformance stamp, an overlay product, or a volume factory, and none is claimed.
What holds this workstandards we know, not certifications we hold
- Section 508The federal procurement rule that points at WCAG. Written here as named-scope delivery, never as a citywide stamp.Named digital set
- ADA Title IIThe public-entity duty. Most first calls are one property and a deadline, not a whole city.Public agencies
- WCAG 2.1 AAThe measurable half. Keyboard and screen reader passes find what the scanner cannot.Every named slice
- No overlayWe do not sell a product that sits on top of your site and declares it fixed.Each scope
Where it stopsan empty row is work this firm does not take
How those outcomes get hired
You hire a diagnosis of a named public-facing set, a first slice, and a file a procurement officer can hold — not a citywide product and not an overlay.
- Accessibility evidenceYou keep: A check of the named setAccessibility testing of a named site, product, or file set. A person checks the finding.
- Accessible documentsYou keep: A named document batchPDFs and public packets that a screen reader can actually use, batched after inventory.
- Public digital workflowsYou keep: A mapped workflowThe intake, the form, the posting — made usable, recorded, and ready to hand off.
Capacity
One engineer, named scope. The reading and the first pass over a document set are machine work. The judgement about what blocks a user is the work.
A programme larger than a named slice is named before it starts, not halfway through, and often the answer is no.
Start a conversationStraight answer, no deck. What it takes to start.

Human sign-offThe line that crosses all three. Models may draft; a person decides and signs; the record says who. None of the others survive without it.
