Digital Accessibility (WCAG 2.2)

Practice: Technology · Type: Standard

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 are the international standard for digital accessibility, organised by the POUR principles — perceivable, operable, understandable and robust — across levels A, AA and AAA. Celeredge assesses conformance against the WCAG 2.2 success criteria at the target level, and ranks the barriers that most affect users and legal exposure.

Benefits​

  • Scored on WCAG 2.2's own success criteria — not a generic rubric.
  • Every criterion traceable to the client's own evidence.
  • Barriers ranked by severity — user impact and legal exposure first.
  • A board-ready slide deck and detailed report, generated automatically.
  • Re-runnable at the target conformance level as the product improves.

When to use it​

  • A client needs to evidence accessibility conformance at a target level (A, AA or AAA).
  • Legal or procurement exposure requires a WCAG 2.2 conformance baseline.
  • A product team wants to rank the accessibility barriers that most affect users.

What it assesses​

The assessment scores conformance against the WCAG 2.2 success criteria, organised by the POUR principles:

  • Perceivable
  • Operable
  • Understandable
  • Robust
  • At the target conformance level (A, AA or AAA)

Expected output​

Per-principle conformance scores on WCAG 2.2's own scale; a confidence signal and citations on every answer; barriers ranked by severity; and a board-ready slide deck plus a detailed HTML report. See Maturity Scoring, Reports and Deck Studio.

FAQ​

What is Digital Accessibility (WCAG 2.2)?​

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 are the international standard for digital accessibility, organised by the POUR principles — perceivable, operable, understandable and robust — across levels A, AA and AAA.

What does a Celeredge WCAG 2.2 assessment deliver?​

An evidence-based maturity or readiness assessment scored on WCAG 2.2's own scale, with gaps ranked by severity and an auto-generated, board-ready slide deck and detailed report — every score traceable to the evidence behind it.

How does the assessment work?​

Clients upload their own evidence — policies, reports and data. An AI interviewer asks targeted follow-ups to fill anything missing, the platform scores against the framework, ranks the gaps, and generates the deliverables.

Celeredge runs an independent readiness and alignment review against this framework. It is not a certification audit and is not endorsed by the standard's owner. Framework and standard names are trademarks of their respective owners.
