[§] PROTOCOL.ACCESS — STATEMENT

Accessibility.

We build this site to be used by everyone — including people who navigate with a screen reader, keyboard, or assistive tech. If anything blocks you, tell us and we'll fix it.

EFFECTIVE — MAY 20, 2026

We're a small business, not a Fortune 500 — but we take this seriously. This page lays out the standard we work to, what we've already done, where we know there are gaps, and the fastest way to get help if the site fails you.

[§01]

The standard we work to

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the international standard most U.S. courts reference when interpreting ADA Title III. We're not formally certified; we self-audit and fix what we find.

[§02]

What's already in place

  • Semantic HTML landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) on every page.
  • Logical heading hierarchy from H1 to H3.
  • "Skip to main content" link at the top of every page (visible on keyboard focus).
  • All form fields have visible labels and required-field markers.
  • Images carry descriptive alt text; decorative glyphs are hidden from assistive tech.
  • Color contrast meets AA on body copy and primary CTAs.
  • The site respects your prefers-reduced-motion system setting — animations turn off automatically if you've asked your device to limit motion.
  • Embedded forms (audit booking, AI Readiness quiz) use accessible iframes with descriptive titles.
  • HTTPS encryption site-wide.
[§03]

Known limitations

We're transparent about what isn't perfect yet:

  • The AI Readiness quiz is embedded from Tally.so. Its accessibility is largely controlled by Tally, not us. If their form gives you trouble, email us and we'll take the same five questions for you on a phone call.
  • The scheduling tool is Calendly. Same situation — if it's blocking you, email us directly and we'll book the call manually.
  • Some decorative monospaced section labels use lower-contrast text by design. They are marked as decorative to screen readers and are never the only way to access information.
[§04]

If something blocks you

The fastest path to a solution is a direct human reply. Email mirza@theaiprotocol.co with:

  • What you were trying to do
  • What broke (screen reader software, page URL if you have it)
  • How we can reach you back

We respond within one business day. If a page is blocking you from booking the free audit, we'll do the audit by phone or email instead — same offer, same price (free), no workaround penalty.

[§05]

No overlay widgets

We don't use AI accessibility overlays (UserWay, accessiBe, AudioEye, etc.). The disability community has largely rejected them, and we agree — they layer controls on top of bad code instead of fixing the code. We do the actual work.

[§06]

How we keep improving

  • Quarterly self-audit using axe-core and manual keyboard / screen-reader walkthroughs.
  • Every new feature is reviewed for accessibility before it ships.
  • Feedback from real users routes straight to Mirza, not a ticket queue.
