Accessibility Statement
A company arguing that human judgment deserves protection cannot build a site that excludes people from reading the argument.

Our target
This site is built to conform with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We treat that as a working standard, not a certification we claim to have been awarded.
What we have implemented
- Semantic structure. Real landmarks, one h1 per page, and a heading hierarchy that does not skip levels — so the page can be navigated by structure rather than by sight.
- Keyboard access. Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard. The mobile menu traps focus while open, closes on Escape, and returns focus to the button that opened it.
- Visible focus. A high-contrast focus ring on every focusable element. We never remove focus styling.
- Skip link. A skip-to-content link is the first focusable element on every page.
- Colour contrast. The palette was rebuilt from the legacy brand colours specifically so that body and interface text clears 4.5:1, and large text clears 3:1, against the surfaces they actually sit on.
- Colour is never the only signal. Status is always labelled in text as well as colour.
- Reduced motion. All animation respects
prefers-reduced-motion. Nothing on this site conveys meaning through motion alone, so switching motion off costs no information. - Text alternatives for visual models. The Recursive Human Systems Model is not a picture of information — each stage is a real button in reading order with a text description in a live region. Nothing in it is locked inside a canvas.
- Forms. Every field has a persistent visible label. Errors are announced, described programmatically, and never communicated by colour alone.
- Images. Meaningful images carry descriptive alt text; decorative visuals are hidden from assistive technology rather than narrated pointlessly.
- Readable measure. Line lengths are constrained for readability, and the layout reflows to 320px and to 200% zoom without loss of content.
- No autoplay audio, and no content that flashes.
Known limitations
We would rather name these than imply perfection:
- This site has been tested with automated tooling and manual keyboard and structural review. It has not yet undergone a formal third-party audit or testing with a full range of assistive technologies and users with disabilities. Until it has, this statement describes our implementation and intent, not an independently verified result.
- The Recursive Human Systems Model diagram is best experienced with a pointer or keyboard. Its full content is available as text, but the spatial relationship of the loop is conveyed visually.
