THE QUESTION

Can AI dramatically reduce the time required to perform a WCAG accessibility review while still leaving critical decision-making in the hands of designers?

THE HYPOTHESIS

By combining computer vision, accessibility heuristics, and structured prompting, designers could receive meaningful accessibility feedback within minutes instead of hours.
