Accessibility statement.

Last updated: April 14, 2026.

Conformance target

Debrief is working toward conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, published by the W3C). This is our design target for all new features and pages.

Aspirational: We have not yet completed a formal third-party accessibility audit. The statement below reflects our current engineering practices and intentions, not a certified conformance claim.

What we have done

  • Semantic HTML

    Pages use landmark elements (nav, main, section, footer), heading hierarchy, and ARIA labels where native semantics are insufficient.

  • Keyboard navigation

    All interactive elements are reachable and operable with a keyboard. Focus indicators are visible and use our amber accent color at sufficient contrast.

  • Color contrast

    Text and interactive element colors meet a 4.5:1 contrast ratio against their backgrounds for normal text, and 3:1 for large text, per WCAG 2.1 AA requirements.

  • Screen-reader labels

    Interactive elements without visible text labels carry aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes. Decorative elements are marked aria-hidden.

Known gaps

  • The platform has not yet been audited by a third-party accessibility specialist.

  • The audio recording interface has not been tested with all common screen readers on mobile.

  • Automated testing covers basic structural checks only, not full WCAG criterion verification.

Ongoing work

We treat accessibility as ongoing work, not a launch checkbox. Each new feature and page is built with keyboard navigation and screen-reader compatibility in mind from the start. We plan to commission a third-party accessibility audit as the product matures.
