Documents that hold nothing back.

WCAG 2.1 AA / ADA Title II compliance for government PDFs — AI-accelerated, human-verified, built for Texas.

The deadline

The federal clock is running.

The Department of Justice's ADA Title II rule requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA for documents on public-facing government websites. The duty belongs to the agency and can't be delegated away.

Cities, counties & districts of 50,000+

Under the DOJ's 2026 interim final rule, larger public entities must conform by April 26, 2027.

Smaller entities & special districts

Everyone else — including special districts of any size — must conform by April 26, 2028.

Most PDFs fail today

In a recent 20-document sample from a Texas school district's public site, every single PDF failed. A typical mid-size district has over 1,400 public PDFs.

The extra year is your window, not a reprieve. A document backlog takes months to work through — entities that start now finish calmly; entities that start in 2027 pay rush pricing everywhere.
How it works

Monitor → Remediate → Maintain

Monitor

We scan your site and surface every PDF that fails accessibility — free to start, no commitment. You get a plain-English inventory: what fails, why, and how big the backlog is.

Remediate

Our pipeline adds tags, reading order, alt text, and table structure at scale. Then a human expert reviews every document against WCAG 2.1 AA before it goes back to you.

Maintain

New documents keep appearing. We re-check on a schedule, fix what's new, and keep an audit trail — your documented good-faith record if a complaint ever lands.

Why us

A warranty you can hand to your attorney.

Automated tools alone stall out — a real district calendar scored 0/100 and automated fixes only reached 65. Human review closes the gap. That's why our warranty covers the human-reviewed deliverable, not raw AI output.

What every delivery includes

  • Human-reviewed WCAG 2.1 AA warranty — a named, testable standard, verified by automated checkers plus an expert reviewer.
  • A per-file warranty stamp — each PDF carries a machine-readable QA status embedded in the file itself, so its standing is verifiable years later.
  • A conformance report per batch — the paper trail your records office and your attorney actually want.
  • Free re-remediation — if a warranted file is found non-conforming, we fix it at no charge.

What we won't do

  • We won't promise "100% ADA compliant." No vendor honestly can — the legal duty stays with the agency. We warrant our work to a testable standard instead.
  • We won't ship unreviewed AI output. AI does the volume; a human verifies before anything carries our warranty.
  • We won't invent chart data. If a graph's source numbers aren't available, we say so and describe it honestly rather than fabricating a data table.
  • We won't hide pricing. It's on the pricing page. Incumbents make you sit through a sales call for a number — we don't.

Questions

What buyers ask us

Does the ADA Title II rule really apply to our PDFs?
Yes. The DOJ rule covers web content including documents on public-facing sites of state and local government entities — cities, counties, school districts, and special districts. There are narrow exceptions (e.g., some archived content), but the agendas, forms, budgets, and newsletters residents actually use must conform to WCAG 2.1 AA.
Our deadline moved to 2027/2028 — can this wait?
The 2026 interim final rule added a year, but the math didn't change: a backlog of hundreds or thousands of PDFs takes months to remediate properly, and residents with disabilities can file complaints today — the underlying ADA obligation isn't new. Starting early also spreads the cost across two budget cycles.
What about scanned documents — image-only PDFs?
We handle them. Scanned files get OCR so there's real, selectable text underneath, then the same tagging, reading order, and human review as everything else. Image-only PDFs are usually the worst offenders on a district site and the most satisfying fix.
Do you handle Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files too?
Yes — Office documents, older legacy formats, and more can go through the same remediate-and-verify pipeline. If it's posted on your site for the public, we can make it accessible or tell you honestly why it should be replaced.
How do we buy this? We're a government entity.
Our pilot and annual plans are priced to fit direct-purchase authority for most Texas entities — no RFP required in most cases. We provide a W-9, certificate of insurance, and signed agreements on request, and we're glad to work through your purchasing office's process.
What does "human-verified" actually mean?
AI produces the tags, reading order, and draft alt text; automated checkers verify structure; then a person reviews the result — especially alt text and tables, where automated tools are least reliable — before the file gets our warranty stamp. You never receive unreviewed AI output under warranty.
