Methodology

Sites were scanned using automated WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility testing via axe-core v4 running in a headless Chromium browser (Puppeteer). Scores are calculated as: 100 − (critical×25) − (serious×10) − (moderate×5) − (minor×2), clamped to 0–100. Scans reflect the publicly accessible homepage or primary URL as of the scan date shown. Automated testing captures approximately 30–40% of all possible accessibility issues — this report should be treated as a baseline indicator, not a comprehensive audit. Data collected April–May 2026.
