Accessibility
The accessibility standard this site is built to.
ORBNEX LLC builds this site to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This page states what has been verified, what has not, and how to report a barrier. It describes the current state honestly rather than claiming conformance that has not been demonstrated.
Operational draft — not reviewed by counsel
This document is an operational draft published so the site's practices are stated plainly before launch. It has not been reviewed by an attorney, it is not legal advice, and it does not constitute a binding agreement. It will be replaced once reviewed.

The short version
Every page is checked automatically against WCAG 2.2 AA on desktop and mobile, and the build fails if a violation is found. Automated testing cannot prove conformance on its own, and no audit by people using assistive technology has been carried out yet.
The target standard
This site targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. That target informed the design system rather than being applied afterwards: colour pairings were chosen by computing contrast ratios, focus indicators are specified as a visible ring on every interactive control, and page structure uses real headings and landmarks.
What is verified automatically, on every build
Every route is tested with axe-core at desktop and mobile viewports. The suite also asserts that each page has exactly one h1, skips no heading level, keeps the skip link as the first tab stop, gives every interactive control a visible focus indicator, and produces no horizontal scrolling at 320 pixels wide. A failure blocks the build rather than raising a warning.
What automated testing cannot tell us
Automated tools reliably detect only a portion of accessibility barriers. They cannot judge whether alternative text is meaningful, whether a reading order makes sense, whether an interaction is understandable, or whether a page works well with a screen reader or voice control in practice.
Known gaps
No audit has been carried out with assistive technology by people who use it daily, and no independent accessibility assessment has been commissioned. Neither has been done, so neither is claimed. This statement will be updated when that changes.
Illustrations and diagrams
Every diagram on this site is decorative and sits beside text carrying the same information, so diagrams are hidden from assistive technology rather than given alternative text that would repeat the adjacent copy. If a diagram ever becomes load-bearing, it will be given a text alternative instead.
Reporting a barrier
If any part of this site is difficult or impossible to use, email [email protected] and describe what you were trying to do, the page you were on, and the assistive technology or browser you were using. Reports are read and acted on; no response time is promised because none has been established.
