Describes concrete fixes and processes: targets WCAG AA, treats accessibility bugs as product blockers for over 10 million daily users, uses the color contrast analyzer, WebAIM scans, VoiceOver and NVDA for testing, and ARIA patterns to make a combo box work by combining input and list into one component. Reports rolling out training across 75 front-end engineers when only one expert exists, adopting linters, a central component library used in ~75% of cases, plus QA checks and a third-party Ultra audit.
