summary

Argues that designing for everyone produces innovation, cites one billion people with accessibility needs and three billion including family, and shows concrete tooling: a Python/Flask demo that invokes Immersive Reader to convert pages to readable, syllable‑marked text and a test harness calling xcore (via Accessibility Insights) inside CI with Selenium to produce JSON reports. Recommends shifting accessibility left into milestones, fixing low‑hanging issues (alt text, contrast), and automating tests; the live demos run and return actionable violations.
