Let’s say you’ve got an accessibility project and you’d like software that can do all of the following:
- Sort issues by priority
- Track fixes by your team
- Track validated fixes by the auditor
- Send you monthly progress reports
Well, we’ve got it. 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.
Let’s explore what Tracker can do for you.

Real Monthly Reports
The reason we say real reports is because there are others who sell automated scan reports. When you consider the fact that scans only flag 25% of WCAG 2.1 AA issues, having a scan report doesn’t mean that much. Our monthly reports are based on actual audits (with actual, manual screen reader testing, keyboard testing, etc.) and the report results include your team’s fixes as well as any third-party validation that takes place (e.g., we confirm the issue as fixed).
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
These reports become part of your compliance documentation and create a clear record of your organization’s commitment to accessibility. That’s not nothing.
Compliance Documentation
- Dated record of all accessibility work performed
- Expert validation confirmations
- Documentation suitable for legal defense if needed
Benefits
There are two immediate benefits here:
- Reporting for legal or compliance purposes
- Reporting to a project manager
Legal Reporting Value
For those who are working through a settlement agreement, Accessibility Tracker provides extremely helpful documentation that shows real progress towards conformance.
With Accessibility Tracker, you can demonstrate:
- When specific WCAG success criteria were addressed
- Which issues were prioritized (especially those most commonly cited in litigation)
- That fixes were validated by qualified accessibility experts
- A timeline of continuous improvement
- Tangible action that demonstrates a policy of accessibility
Project Management Reporting
Beyond legal protection, Accessibility Tracker provides invaluable project management insights:
- Progress tracking toward compliance deadlines (crucial for ADA Title II entities facing the July 1, 2025 deadline)
- Resource allocation visibility (which teams are fixing which issues)
- Bottleneck identification (where fixes are getting stuck)
- Team accountability through clear metrics
The monthly reports include visual representations of progress that make it easy for non-technical stakeholders to understand the status of accessibility efforts.
Prioritization Methods
What really sets Accessibility Tracker apart is our ability to prioritize issues by presorting audit reports. We offer two distinct formulas:
Risk Formula
Our Risk Formula prioritizes issues based on lawsuit data. We’ve analyzed hundreds website accessibility complaints filed in court to identify which WCAG issues are most frequently claimed by plaintiffs’ lawyers.
For example, the top three issues claimed are:
- Missing alternative text for images (1.1.1)
- Keyboard navigability issues (2.1.1)
- Form field labeling problems (3.3.2)
By addressing high-risk issues first, you can significantly reduce your lawsuit risk while you improve accessibility.
Impact Formula
Our Impact formula uses a 100-point weighted scoring system to identify which accessibility issues create the most significant barriers for users with disabilities.
This formula factors in:
- Whether the issue completely blocks access
- If workarounds are possible
- How many users are affected
- The criticality of the affected functionality
- How frequently the issue occurs
How It Works
Getting started with Accessibility Tracker is straightforward:
- Purchase a monthly or yearly subscription
- Upload your accessibility audit spreadsheet (from any provider)
- Choose your prioritization formula
- Assign issues to team members
- Track progress as fixes are implemented
- Request validation of completed fixes
- Generate monthly reports
The system maintains a complete history of all activity, creating a robust record for compliance documentation.
