Accessibility That Scales
summary
Practical playbook: prioritize the design system so one fixed modal or color token remediates hundreds of instances, use Datadog to target the top 10 pages that deliver 67% of traffic, pair remediation with prevention by shifting accessibility left into design and components, run continuous microtraining like an accessibility tip of the day (243 tips so far), keep an accessibility conformance report for sales, and track customer requests and deals to prove business impact.
