The Lab aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. Research is only useful if every examiner can read it.
Status, 7 November 2026
Our target is WCAG 2.2 level AA. We designed the site to meet it, and every build runs automatic checks of its structure: one main heading, a skip link, landmarks, text for every image, unique ids and no content from other sites. We have not yet had an independent audit, so we do not claim full conformance. We will update this statement when a review is done.
What is built in
- Keyboard. Every control works with the keyboard, focus is always visible, and a skip link jumps to the content. Search opens with Control+K or the slash key.
- Themes. Light and dark themes with the same contrast. The site follows your device setting, and you can change it with the theme button.
- Motion. Motion appears only where it explains something. It stops when your device asks for reduced motion, and the footer has a switch.
- Text. Text scales with browser settings and pages reflow down to a 320 pixel width without horizontal scrolling.
- Interactive figures. Each figure has a text or table version carrying the same information.
- Language. Plain words, short sentences, and a definition for each technical term the first time it appears.
Known limits
- The hex view in the image browser is dense. A text description accompanies each file.
- Some original evidence files are in formats a screen reader cannot read. We describe their content in text.
