Accessibility statement

Prepared on 19 October 2026

We want everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard, magnification or voice control.

The standard we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. The product's own interface is designed to the same standard, so every surface works by keyboard and screen reader. Wherever voice is offered, every action can also be done in text.

What we have done

  • Text and controls have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5 to 1 against their background.
  • Every page can be used with a keyboard alone, and the focused element always shows a visible outline.
  • Animation stops or is reduced when your device asks for reduced motion.
  • Pages reflow to a single column on narrow screens and when zoomed. Wide tables scroll inside their own box, which you can reach and scroll with the keyboard.
  • Charts state their values in text, and data tables have headers.
  • The two-school demonstration on the home page has a written summary for screen readers and a pause button.
  • Form fields have visible labels, and errors are listed at the top of the form with a link to each field.
  • Our papers are published as web pages, with headings, tables with header cells and a text alternative for each diagram.

Known gaps

  • The two-school demonstration is drawn on a canvas, so its individual dots are not available to screen readers. Its summary gives the result in words.
  • The website has not yet been tested by an independent auditor or by disabled users. On 19 October 2026 we tested every page with automated checks for WCAG 2.2 level AA (axe-core), at desktop and phone widths. We also went through every page using only a keyboard and reviewed what assistive technology reads out for each one, then fixed what we found. We have also tested the main pages with the VoiceOver screen reader. The product itself will have an independent audit before its first paid cohort.
