How we research and correct our guidance

The evidence and review rules behind DocAccessible product, standards, legal, and accessibility content.

Updated July 14, 2026. Reviewed by the DocAccessible team under our editorial policy.

Source hierarchy

  1. Primary standards, statutes, regulations, and official agency guidance.
  2. Official documentation from the organization that maintains a validator or technical format.
  3. Peer-reviewed or recognized industry material when a primary source does not answer the practical question.
  4. DocAccessible product behavior verified in the current application and release tests.

Claims we treat as high risk

Legal deadlines, conformance status, certification, security controls, procurement vehicles, data residency, integrations, service levels, numerical benchmarks, and plan limits require an owner and current evidence. Planned work is labelled as planned. A target is not presented as a completed result.

Review and update rules

  • Each guide displays its latest substantive review date.
  • Time-sensitive guidance links to the governing primary source.
  • Product limits are checked against the same plan configuration used by the application.
  • Automated accessibility results are never described as certification.
  • AI-assisted drafting, when used, does not replace source verification or accountable human review.

Corrections

Report a factual, accessibility, or product-description issue through the contact form. Include the page URL, disputed statement, supporting source, and the correction you recommend. Material corrections update the page review date; changes that alter a legal or procurement decision are prioritized.

Authorship and specialist review

Pages currently attributed to the DocAccessible team are organizational work. We publish a named reviewer only when that person has reviewed the stated scope and has agreed to be identified. See About DocAccessible for the product boundaries behind this guidance.
