CASCADE Routing audit, KYC extraction Seal 1151f5a1cfaae0c0 · measured, then frozen
Appendix F Accessibility ← Back to the findings

Two ways in, one arrival. Measured, not promised.

A summit with two slopes: a green ramp rising on the left, grey steps on the right, arriving at the same platform.

This page holds the site to the same rule as the product: nothing promised, only measured. The figures below are computed from this site's own stylesheet and structure — and wherever a gesture can check a claim right now, on the page you are reading, the gesture is here.

The keyboard is a first-class door

Every finding on the main screen is a plain address — a link to an anchor. The whole instrument navigates by keyboard alone: Tab reaches every control, Enter opens it, and the browser's back button walks your trail backwards, because each state you visit is a real place in the address bar.

The one small script on that screen only synchronises the animation clock and the tab title. Switch JavaScript off and every state still opens — the navigation is the address, not a handler.

Try it now: press Tab until the findings rail takes focus, then Enter. Then press Back.

Contrast, measured

Computed from this site's own palette, not asserted: body ink on this paper measures 11.1:1. The weakest text pairing anywhere on the site measures 5.6:1. The accessibility floor for body text is 4.5:1 — every pairing here clears it with room to spare.

And colour never carries a meaning alone: wherever the green marks something — a shackle, a plateau, a signature — a word or a shape carries the same meaning beside it.

Native parts, native semantics

The sections of every appendix are native disclosure elements — the browser provides the keyboard behaviour and the screen‑reader semantics, so there is no script of ours to get them wrong. Focus is always visible: every interactive element carries a focus ring drawn in the site's own ink, never suppressed.

Try it now: Tab through this very page — each section header announces itself and toggles with Enter or Space.

Motion that asks permission

Every transition on this site sits behind the reduced‑motion media query. When your system asks for less motion, the cascade holds still — the same figures, the same states, without the movement.

Try it now: switch on your system's Reduce Motion setting and reload — the page arrives already settled.

What this page does not claim

These claims are mechanical — ratios computed, anchors counted, media queries present — so we make them. What we do not certify is the lived experience: this site has not been through an audit by a person who uses a screen reader daily, and that is the only audit of that experience that counts. If your team runs one and finds a fault, it will be fixed and this page will say it was.

On your records, on your machine. Nothing leaves the network.
