Our track record

We're already trusted by a government agency in Ireland

They asked us to review the accessibility of their published reporting. We then won a competitive tender to keep doing it.

  • Irish public sector
  • Competitive tender
  • Ongoing contract

Public sector bodies across the EU must meet the Web Accessibility Directive, and the charts inside their reports are part of that. We know what reviewers and auditors look for.

1 in 6 people can't use your charts. Automated solutions can't fix that.

Accessibility for dataviz - not just store fronts

Dataviz requires specific accessibility assurance

Traditional accessibility requirments encode the POUR framework, designed for static text and plain images - the kind of content within homepages and storefronts. The data visualisations that empower your customer experiences are far more complex and are instead measured against the POUR-CAF framework.

While some legislation lags behind, the EU European Accessibility does require POUR-CAF compliance and exposes fines of up to 5% turnover if you do not comply.
