Accessibility Scope Diagnostic
Before checking a specific criterion, you first need to know which ones apply to you. This questionnaire first situates your legal obligation (public sector, private thresholds, European Accessibility Act), then identifies which points to check based on your site's actual content, with the option to scan up to 4 key pages to pre-fill the answers.

- 4Receive the list of points to check, with the method for each
Why it matters
Existing accessibility checkers (contrast, heading hierarchy, focus visibility) assume you already know which criterion to check. This diagnostic covers the step before that: situating the real legal obligation, which differs for a public sector body, a private company above €250M in revenue, or a commercial digital service covered by the European Accessibility Act since June 2025, then prioritising technical criteria based on what is actually present on the site (video, forms, tables, documents, interactive components).
Frequently asked questions
Does this diagnostic replace a full accessibility audit?
No. It identifies the scope and prioritises points to check, but does not replace a structured evaluation by an auditor, especially for criteria that require real use of assistive technologies (screen reader, semantic relevance of alt text).
Is the automatic page analysis 100% reliable?
It detects the presence of tags and patterns in the raw HTML code (video, forms, tables, links to documents, common interactive components). A site heavily reliant on client-side JavaScript may not be detected correctly: checkboxes remain editable manually after the scan.
What if my company is below the current thresholds?
No legal obligation is currently identified, but European Accessibility Act thresholds evolve regularly and a voluntary approach is still recommended: it limits legal exposure if the scope expands in the future and improves the real experience of affected users.
