What we target

costmon.com targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. That covers color contrast, heading order, keyboard access, and the usual list of things that make a page work with a screen reader or without a mouse.

We don't have a third-party VPAT yet. If a security or procurement review needs one, ask on the contact page and we'll get it sorted.

How we check it

Every build runs axe-core against every page on the site, with reduced motion turned on so a scroll animation mid-fade doesn't get flagged as a false contrast failure. The build fails on any serious or critical violation, and on any skipped heading level. That's a gate in CI, not a one-time audit, so a regression breaks the build the same day it ships rather than sitting there until the next review.

What we haven't done

Automated tools catch a lot of syntactic issues, not the experience itself. We haven't run a manual pass with a screen reader or voice control software. This page also only covers the marketing site: the CostMon dashboard your team logs into hasn't been through the same review yet. A few charts, like the Kubernetes cost breakdown, separate their segments with both color and a text legend, but we haven't checked them against every form of color blindness.
