Principal-Led Accessibility & Software Risk

Decision-grade audits
for high-stakes moments.

When litigation, procurement, or software release decisions depend on the results of your accessibility audit, an automated scan is not enough.

Backed by 20 years in accessibility and software risk, Verona combines AI-assisted discovery with expert interpretation. We guide counsel, executives, and engineering teams from uncertainty to action.

We work with teams across the organization because accessibility exposure does not stop at one stakeholder.

Accessibility exposure rarely stays inside one team. It affects decisions across the organization. It surfaces during contract reviews, release decisions, complaints, and diligence questions. Verona aligns counsel, executives, product, engineering, and compliance around what the findings mean, what to fix first, and what changes for the business. You leave with a clear decision path, prioritized next steps, and governance guidance that helps teams build accessibility into design and delivery so issues do not recur across releases.

Legal and General Counsel

Forensic Defensibility

When a demand letter arrives or scrutiny begins, counsel needs more than an AI scan report or automated accessibility scan output. They need a clear record of what was observed, why it matters, what was prioritized, and how the organization responded.

Verona provides interpretation, remediation sequencing, and clear documentation that shows good faith action, including what was fixed and what process changes were put in place so the same issues do not resurface after the next release.

Sales, M&A, and Deal Teams

Clearing Procurement

Accessibility debt can slow deals and increase inherited liability. In diligence and contract clearance, buyers and enterprise risk teams want to understand exposure, scope, and realistic remediation effort, not a tool export with unclear severity.

Verona translates findings into an evidence-backed risk picture tied to high-value user paths, clarifies what is blocking, what is systemic, and what can be sequenced, so teams reduce deal friction, keep timelines moving, and prevent accessibility from becoming a late-stage blocker.

Engineering and Development

Noise Filter and Governance

Automated tools and AI scanners can flag patterns, but they cannot confirm real user impact, validate severity, or tell teams what to fix first for release readiness. Verona uses AI-assisted discovery to surface findings, then applies principal-led manual validation to confirm what is actually blocking users.

We translate findings into prioritized fixes and acceptance outcomes, then help teams integrate accessibility into design reviews, testing habits, and release checks so recurrence drops and compliance holds across releases.

Product, Brand, and Compliance

Preventing Exposure Before It Goes Public

High-visibility blockers in critical flows, account access, enrollment, checkout, can prevent purchases and exclude users who rely on assistive technology. These failures drive complaints, social media backlash, and reputational risk that leadership has to answer for.

Verona identifies the highest-consequence barriers early, guides teams on what to fix first and how to sequence remediation, then helps implement governance practices that reduce repeat failures and keep critical flows accessible across releases.

When digital properties fail to meet accessibility requirements,
the cost arrives before the storm.

Accessibility failures rarely announce themselves at the moment of crisis. They accumulate quietly until a deal enters diligence, a complaint arrives, or a release ships with unknown exposure. For users who rely on assistive technology to complete high-value tasks, payments, enrollment, and account access, the failure is not theoretical. It is a blocked path that creates user harm, lost revenue, and leadership escalation.

Deal Diligence and Valuation Pressure

Accessibility liability can transfer with an acquisition, turning undisclosed exposure into a negotiation problem and post-close remediation cost. Buyers want to understand what is blocking users, what is systemic, and what remediation effort looks like before close.

Verona provides an evidence-backed risk picture tied to high-value paths, so leadership can quantify exposure, sequence remediation, and reduce valuation drag.

Contract Clearance and Procurement Risk

Enterprise and government buyers increasingly require accessibility evidence because they carry operational and legal exposure when vendors fail accessibility requirements. When a VPAT is rejected or a contract is put on hold, the impact is delayed revenue and escalating scrutiny.

Verona validates what matters, documents scope and method clearly, and provides a prioritized remediation path so teams can clear reviews faster and reduce repeat back and forth.

Complaint Pressure, Demand Letters, and Legal Scrutiny

When a complaint or demand letter arrives, organizations need more than an AI scan report or automated scan. They need a coherent record of what was found, what it means, what was prioritized, and how issues were addressed.

Verona provides interpretation, remediation guidance, and a governance path that demonstrates good faith effort, including how accessibility will be maintained across future releases.

Brand Damage and Public Exposure

Blockers in high-risk flows, checkout, enrollment, account access, can trigger public complaints and visible brand harm, especially when users relying on assistive technology cannot complete basic tasks. The organizations that avoid headlines identify barriers early, fix what matters first, and build practices so issues do not recur across releases.

Verona focuses on the highest-consequence user paths and guides teams through fixes and process improvements that reduce repeat exposure.

When scrutiny arrives, speed helps, but preparation wins. The strongest organizations can show what they observed, what they fixed, what they changed in their process, and how they will maintain accessibility compliance over time.

Regulatory Timeline

April 24, 2026

The April 2026 ADA Title II web and mobile accessibility rule creates an immediate compliance window.

It is a major driver for public entities, and it also increases inherited liability pressure on private vendors supporting government and education.

For public sector contracting, this is no longer a roadmap item or a QA checkbox. It is a license to do business.

Organizations that have not started are already behind.

Principal-led audits and documented risk records built for executive-level decisions.

Automated tools and AI scanners detect patterns and flag potential violations. However, they cannot confirm severity, assess litigation exposure, or tell you what to fix before a contract review or release. Verona closes that gap through principal-led guidance, validation, and forensic interpretation.

We examine each finding in context, explain consequences for contracts, releases, and brand risk, advise on remediation sequencing and next steps, and provide the documentation your team needs: conformance statements, remediation evidence, and a risk position your legal, technical, and executive stakeholders can stand behind. For teams building long-term compliance, we help integrate accessibility into design, engineering, and QA so it holds across releases.

Tools flag patterns and potential violations. Verona confirms severity, identifies real user impact, and delivers a clear path forward.

01
Entry Point

Risk Readiness Snapshot

Fast orientation for teams that need to understand their accessibility exposure before committing to a full audit. We focus on high-value user paths, identify likely blockers, and interpret what the findings mean for contracts, releases, and procurement risk.

You leave with a clear risk rating, a plain-language explanation of what is driving your exposure, and a direct answer on whether a Core Audit is warranted — and how urgently.

02
Flagship

Core Accessibility and Software Risk Audit

A rigorous audit combining AI-assisted discovery with hands-on expert analysis. Findings are verified against conformance requirements, mapped to observed system behavior, and assessed for impact on releases, contracts, and legal exposure. Clear guidance is provided for the teams that have to act on them.

We prioritize findings by WCAG criticality, user impact, legal and regulatory exposure, and business consequence. For every issue that matters, we explain how to address it and how to prevent the conditions that caused it from producing the same failures in future releases.

03
Governance

Governance and Procurement Readiness

We help teams reduce recurrence by building practical accessibility oversight into the development lifecycle, from design reviews and component standards to testing workflows and release checks. That includes process guidance, training, and clear ownership so accessibility is considered early and validated consistently.

For procurement, we support review-ready responses with clear, bounded documentation and evidence that reduces reviewer friction and keeps deals moving.

04
Ongoing

Validation, Documentation, and Advisory

After audit work and remediation, we provide validation and documentation support for conformance statements, VPAT and ACR artifacts, and structured evidence portfolios for formal review.

Advisory retainers include AI-assisted monthly scanning, periodic principal-led validation, and ongoing guidance to keep compliance from drifting between major releases.
