Accessibility roadmap
Last reviewed 2026-05-16
Purpose
This roadmap documents HiringCoachAI's planned accessibility improvements, target timelines, and progress-tracking sources for the web application.
Current Baseline
HiringCoachAI's current verified conformance is WCAG 2.1 Level AA for the web application, and this is the customer-contract and HECVAT baseline. WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the stated forward-looking target.
The current ACR / VPAT is dated April 6, 2026 and is published at https://hiringcoach.ai/vpat. It is an internal self-assessment supported by automated checks, manual keyboard testing, route-level review, accessibility-tree inspection, mobile reflow testing, and remediation tracking.
Roadmap
| Target date | Milestone | Expected evidence |
|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2026 | Complete live screen-reader verification on high-traffic and core workflows using NVDA with Chrome and VoiceOver with Safari. | Updated accessibility statement, ACR / VPAT notes, verification snapshot, and remediation log entries for any findings. |
| September 30, 2026 | Expand screen-reader sampling across the full web-route inventory and add accessibility checks to the release checklist for material UI changes. | Updated route matrix, verification snapshot, and SDLC release-checklist notes. |
| December 31, 2026 | Refresh accessibility evidence for the annual planning cycle, review customer and public accessibility feedback, and scope any external accessibility review needed for enterprise commitments. | Quarterly review notes, updated remediation log, and enterprise accessibility-review decision record. |
| March 31, 2027 | Complete the annual ACR / VPAT refresh. If an enterprise contract requires third-party verification, complete vendor selection and schedule the external review. | Refreshed ACR / VPAT, updated accessibility statement, and external-review schedule or documented deferral decision. |
Tracking And Review
Accessibility progress is tracked through the public accessibility statement, the current ACR / VPAT, the accessibility remediation log, the route matrix, and the verification snapshot.
Quarterly review confirms:
- Open accessibility findings and remediation status.
- Completion status for the roadmap milestones above.
- Any customer-specific accessibility commitments.
- Whether third-party accessibility verification is required by an active or pending enterprise commitment.
