Accessibility Tracker provides real-time analytics and progress tracking for your WCAG conformance projects by transforming your accessibility audit reports into actionable dashboards with visual data representations, completion scores, and automated monthly progress reports. The platform tracks real progress based on actual audits (you upload your audit report Excel spreadsheet), not automated scans that only reliably flag 13% of WCAG 2.2 AA issues.
This means the other accessibility compliance software on the market can’t do this because they’re scan-based. Because Tracker is audit-based, you can actually track full WCAG conformance — which is what you need for compliance, not 100% scan score.
| Analytics Feature | What It Means for Your Compliance |
|---|---|
| Project Overview Dashboard | View total issues, completion rates, and validation status across all your digital assets in real-time, giving you instant visibility into WCAG conformance progress |
| Issue Distribution Analytics | Break down issues by location, WCAG criterion, and user impact to strategically plan remediation efforts and allocate resources effectively |
| Risk Factor Scoring | Prioritize issues based on ADA lawsuit data, addressing the accessibility problems most commonly claimed in litigation first |
| Monthly Progress Reports | Receive automated documentation of fixes and validation that serves as legal compliance records for settlements or regulatory requirements |

Real-Time Analytics Based on Actual Audit Data
When you upload your accessibility audit spreadsheet to Accessibility Tracker, the platform automatically extracts all issue data, recommendations, and technical details. This creates your baseline for tracking WCAG conformance progress.
The platform shows your completion percentage instantly, while automated monthly reports document progress. This saves hours previously spent manually tabulating status updates or creating executive summaries. Your dashboard displays:
- Total accessibility issues across all projects
- Number of issues marked as fixed
- Issues validated by auditors
- High-risk issues based on ADA lawsuit data
- High-impact issues affecting users with disabilities
- Status distribution showing work progress
The analytics differentiate between issues that are completed versus validated. Usually validation is by the auditor, but it can be by someone from within your own team if you so wanted. You want to make sure that when an issue is marked as validated it has been indeed resolved.
How the Platform Tracks WCAG Conformance Progress
Accessibility Tracker can get some really nice analytics. We can start looking at the details. We can go as detailed as we want to to where we’re looking at the specifics for an individual accessibility issue.
The tracking workflow progresses through these visualization levels:
Project-Wide Analytics: View total issues across multiple digital assets – websites, mobile apps, and web applications all in one dashboard
Individual Project Tracking: Here we can see there are 74 total issues. Nine issues have been fixed, 56 issues fall into high risk when it comes to the risk factor formula.
Granular Issue Details: Each issue tracks its current status, assignment, priority level, validation date, and complete audit details
You can filter and sort issues by priority, status, who’s assigned, or WCAG standard. This batched approach dramatically speeds up implementation time and ensures consistent solutions across your site.
Visual Data Representations for Compliance Monitoring
The Tracker platform presents your accessibility data through multiple visualizations that make compliance monitoring straightforward:
Circle Graphs and Status Charts
Circle graphs of the status distribution show how far along we are on each issue. Priority distribution visualizations appear when you set custom priorities of high, medium, or low.
Issue Distribution Analytics
The dashboard breaks down issues by:
- Issues by location (specific pages or sections)
- Issues by WCAG Success Criterion
- Issues by users affected
- Issues by environment
Progress Scoring System
User impact uses a weighted scoring system to identify which issues create the most significant barriers for users with disabilities. The score factors in access blocking severity, workaround feasibility, and user population size.
Risk factor prioritizes issues based on lawsuit data, focusing on the accessibility problems most commonly claimed by plaintiffs’ lawyers in ADA website litigation.
Monthly Progress Reports and Documentation
At the end of March 2025, we’re opening up Accessibility Tracker to the public. This was top of mind today because we had a client who’s working through an ADA website lawsuit settlement and his defense attorney wanted the ability to prioritize the accessibility issues in the audit report.
Each report provides a clear snapshot of: Total accessibility issues identified through manual audits, Issues successfully remediated and validated, Issues currently in progress, Remaining issues prioritized by risk or impact.
The automated monthly reports include:
- Visual representations of progress
- Validated fixes with auditor confirmation
- Timeline documentation for compliance records
- Team performance metrics
- Issue resolution rates
These reports become part of your compliance documentation and create a clear record of your organization’s commitment to accessibility.
Dashboard Features for Different Compliance Standards
Whether you’re working toward ADA compliance, preparing for the European Accessibility Act (EAA), or achieving WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, the Tracker platform dashboard adapts to your compliance needs.
ADA Compliance Tracking
The risk factor scoring specifically addresses ADA litigation concerns. We’ve analyzed hundreds of website accessibility complaints filed in court to identify which WCAG issues are most frequently claimed by plaintiffs’ lawyers.
European Accessibility Act (EAA) Monitoring
Organizations preparing for EAA compliance can track multiple digital assets simultaneously, ensuring all products and services meet the required standards before deadlines.
WCAG Conformance Visualization
Most software in the market is based on automated scans. This is an elephant-sized difference because if you’re using scans, you’re working with extremely skewed data. The Tracker platform bases all analytics on actual audit reports, providing accurate WCAG conformance tracking.
Real-Time Score Updates and Workflow Integration
Every status change updates your scores and analytics in real time. When a developer marks an issue as completed, the dashboard immediately reflects this progress. When an auditor validates the fix, your validation score increases.
The workflow tracking includes:
- Not Started status for new issues
- In Progress for active remediation
- Completed when fixes are implemented
- Validated after auditor confirmation
- On Hold for paused work
- Needs Work for incomplete fixes
Team members can filter to see only their assigned issues, helping them focus on their specific tasks without getting distracted by the entire project. This coordination and parallel effort significantly accelerates project completion.
Using Analytics for Strategic Compliance Planning
The platform’s analytics enable strategic decision-making for your accessibility program. Project managers can identify patterns across multiple digital assets, allocate resources based on priority scores, and predict completion timelines using historical progress data.
Project Insights AI analyzes all of your accessibility data across every project in your dashboard. Unlike the individual issue AI tools that help with specific fixes, this new feature examines patterns, progress rates, and project metrics to provide strategic intelligence about your accessibility program.
Organizations managing multiple properties – perhaps two websites, a mobile app, and a web application – can view aggregate analytics showing which assets need immediate attention based on risk scores or user impact metrics.
Key Insights
The Accessibility Tracker platform transforms raw audit data into actionable compliance intelligence through real-time dashboards, automated progress reports, and strategic scoring systems. Unlike scan-based platforms that track incomplete data, this audit-based approach provides accurate WCAG conformance monitoring with visual representations that make compliance progress clear to technical teams and executives alike.
The combination of risk factor scoring for ADA compliance, user impact scoring for accessibility prioritization, and automated monthly documentation creates a complete compliance tracking system that scales from single websites to enterprise-wide digital accessibility programs.
