A VPAT Is Not a Magic Shield
A VPAT can be useful evidence, but it is not a guarantee that the product, configuration, workflow, or implementation your team ships will be accessible.

A Vendor Claim Is Not the Same as a Tested Workflow
A vendor claim can start the accessibility conversation, but teams still need to understand whether the real workflow has been checked.
What Accessibility Review Is Actually Looking For
Accessibility review is not a scavenger hunt for WCAG failures. It is a quality check on whether people can actually use the thing you built.
Start with the Path, Not the Checklist
Accessibility work goes better when teams understand the path early instead of treating WCAG like a last-minute checklist.
“Make It Accessible” Is Not a Requirement
“Make it accessible” is a good intention, but it is not enough for a team to build, test, accept, or review. Useful accessibility requirements describe the behavior people need.
Good Accessibility Requirements Prevent Rework
Accessibility requirements do not need to be complicated. They need to be clear enough that the team knows what to build, test, accept, and review.
