The AI Says It’s Accessible. Is It?
What can a tool tell you about accessibility, and what still has to be established through evidence and testing?
Accessibility tools can find real problems quickly. They can also miss barriers, flag things that require human judgment, or produce results that sound more definitive than they are. This module looks at what WAVE, Lighthouse, and generative AI can tell you, what they cannot, and how to verify a finding before you rely on it.
Sessions
What Can the Tool Actually Tell You?
Read WAVE deliberately, compare Lighthouse on the same page, and identify what still requires you.
Open Session 14 →How Do You Know the Fix Worked?
Investigate AI claims, test a proposed correction, and build evidence for a defensible conclusion.
