Accessibility

Built for WCAG 2.2 AA, with the gaps named openly.

An accessibility statement that claims everything works is not worth reading. This one describes what has been built in, what is still a limitation, and how to tell us when something gets in the way.

Our target

This site is built against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, at Level AA. That target governs how the site is designed, built, and tested, and it is the standard we will be held to by this statement.

02

What has been built in

  • Every interactive control is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator that does not rely on colour alone.
  • Headings follow a correct hierarchy on every page, and every page has a single, correctly ordered H1.
  • Form fields have persistent visible labels, with errors that are associated programmatically with their field and described in plain language.
  • Form status changes are announced to assistive technology through a polite live region, so a submission result is not only a visual change.
  • Colour contrast meets or exceeds the AA threshold for all text, and the palette is never the only way meaning is conveyed.
  • Every diagram has a text equivalent. The ecosystem network on the home page exposes an accessible name and can be switched to a complete list view; the hero macro-graph exposes an accessible name and is followed by a full text version of the graph — every layer, every connection with its reason, and every pathway — which can be opened and closed without JavaScript.
  • Motion is limited and reversible. Animations are gated on viewport visibility, and the whole site honours the operating system's reduced-motion preference.
  • The site is usable at 200% browser zoom and at 320 CSS pixels wide, with no horizontal scrolling.
  • There is a skip-to-content link, and the header navigation is fully keyboard operable.
03

Known limitations

An honest accessibility statement names its gaps. The following are known, and are recorded rather than hidden:

  • The hero network graphic is a dense custom SVG. Its nodes are individually focusable and labelled, and a complete text version of it — all nine layers, all twenty connections with the reason each is drawn, and all four pathways — is published directly beneath it as a disclosure that opens with Enter or Space. What the text version cannot convey is the visual density of the composition: how the layers cluster, and which connections are drawn as pathways rather than as supporting relationships. For that, the graphic itself remains the better route.
  • The architecture diagram on the Intelligence System page is a single SVG with a long descriptive label. Every element it depicts is also present as text on the same page, so nothing is available only in the graphic.
  • Filtering in the ecosystem explorer and the opportunity library changes results without a page reload. Results are announced through a polite live region, but the total is announced rather than the full list.
  • No automated conformance audit can establish accessibility on its own. The site is reviewed manually as well as by tooling, but a full manual audit with disabled assistive technologies has not yet been carried out.
04

How this is tested

Pages are checked at multiple viewport sizes for horizontal overflow and reflow, with the keyboard used to traverse every interactive element, and with automated tooling used to flag contrast, labelling, and landmark problems. Animation behaviour is checked with the reduced-motion preference enabled.

Reporting a barrier

If you encounter something on this site that makes it harder to use, we want to know. Use the Share a Problem form and describe what you were trying to do and what happened instead.

Accessibility barriers affecting the ability to use the site are prioritised over other requests. Because this site cannot send email, a barrier report is handled through the same record as any other submission: it is read, and what was done about it is recorded against it, where you can check it with your reference.

06

Date and review

This statement was written when the site was first published, and last reviewed on 23 October 2026. That review corrected two statements that were not true of the site as built: the previous version claimed a list-based alternative existed for both network diagrams and that a full text alternative was provided for the hero graphic, neither of which was the case at the time. The hero graphic now carries a published text version, and the statement above describes what is actually there.

It will be reviewed as the site changes, and the review date will be updated each time it is.
