EAA accessibility / regression-only delivery
Stay ahead of EAA requirements. Keep releases moving.
QualityGate flags only new accessibility issues in each client preview, so agencies can track progress without making the existing backlog block every pull request.
Automated checks find issues and track progress; they do not provide legal advice or a conformance assessment.
The problem
A useful check becomes noise when old debt blocks every client change. Legacy debt turns every client pull request red.
Agencies inherit accessibility issues they cannot clear in one sprint. When a CI check treats every known issue as new, delivery stalls, and the check gets switched off just as EAA pressure makes visibility more important.

The difference
Don’t make it worse. Gate the delta.
QualityGate keeps the existing backlog visible, but makes the merge decision from what this pull request changed. Teams keep shipping while the quality bar moves in one direction.

Common questions
Useful automation, honestly framed.
- Does QualityGate provide a legal conformance assessment?
- No. It reports automated findings and helps teams track regressions. Legal and conformance reviews still require qualified human judgment.
- Will it fail every PR on legacy debt?
- No. The regression-only baseline means existing issues can stay visible without blocking work.
- What does the first version check?
- The MVP focuses on deterministic accessibility checks. SEO, headers, and links follow as modular checks.
