Use Case

The friction your funnel hides, surfaced by the people who feel it first

Neurodivergent users encounter usability friction earlier and more intensely than neurotypical users. We turn that early-warning signal into ranked, actionable findings.

The problem

Most accessibility work stops at the floor

Automated scanners catch 30 to 40% of accessibility issues (UK Government Digital Service). What they catch is mostly structural: contrast ratios, missing alt text, malformed ARIA. They miss almost everything cognitive: ambiguous labels, sludge in error states, unfamiliar jargon, layouts that overwhelm working memory. Those are the issues that drive abandonment.

Cognitive accessibility is not a smaller version of WCAG. It is a different evaluation problem and it needs a different evaluation method, real testing with the people most affected. That is what we do. We do not test the WCAG criteria that depend on assistive technologies (screen readers, magnifiers, switch devices); for that work you need a separate provider.

Our approach

How we surface it

Three capabilities that set our testing apart.

1

Canary-in-the-coal-mine cohort

ND testers consistently spot friction earlier than neurotypical testers. Fixing what blocks them tends to lift task success across the whole audience. The curb-cut effect, applied to your funnel.

2

Three-stream evidence per session

Behavioural data (clicks, scrolls, dwell), self-report (voice commentary), and physiological signals (facial reactions) captured in parallel and correlated by the analysis layer.

3

Mapped to the WCAG criteria cognitive accessibility actually touches

Findings tagged to the relevant 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x success criteria, with the out-of-scope criteria listed explicitly in every report.
