Vendor Accessibility Questions Checklist
A practical checklist for asking vendors what their accessibility evidence actually covers.
Ask Vendors How Accessibility Works in Your Configuration
Vendor accessibility answers are most useful when they connect to the version, settings, integrations, documents, and workflows your team will actually use.
Accessibility Evidence Should Match the Thing You’re Shipping
Accessibility evidence is stronger when it matches the real workflow, content, configuration, documents, and version people will use after launch.
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.
