Accessibility Tracker Platform generates monthly progress reports by pulling live data from your audit results, remediation activity, and conformance status into a formatted document you can share with leadership or procurement contacts. Every report reflects real project movement, not scan statistics.
The reports are built from (manual) audit data, which means the conformance picture they present is accurate. Automated scans only flag approximately 25% of issues, so progress reports built on scan data alone miss most of what matters. Accessibility Tracker takes a different approach: the platform maps your audit findings to remediation status and produces a report that reflects where your project actually stands against WCAG 2.1 AA or WCAG 2.2 AA.
| Report Element | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Data Source | Audit results uploaded to the platform, not automated scan output |
| Conformance Standard | WCAG 2.1 AA or WCAG 2.2 AA depending on project scope |
| Key Metrics | Total issues, resolved issues, open issues, conformance percentage |
| AI Component | AI-generated narrative summarizing trends and recommending next steps |
| Audience | Project managers, decision-makers, procurement teams, compliance officers |
What Data Goes Into Each Report?
Every progress report starts with the audit data you have uploaded to the platform. When an auditor evaluates your web app, mobile app, or website against WCAG criteria, the resulting issues are logged inside Accessibility Tracker with severity ratings and criterion references.
As your development team addresses those issues and marks them resolved, the platform tracks that movement over time. The monthly report captures a snapshot of this activity: how many issues existed at the start of the period, how many were resolved, how many remain open, and what the overall conformance trajectory looks like.
This is fundamentally different from scan-based reporting. A scan report tells you what one automated tool detected on one day. A progress report from Accessibility Tracker tells you how your remediation effort is performing across weeks and months.
How AI Shapes the Report Narrative
The platform uses AI to generate a written summary for each report. Rather than presenting raw numbers alone, the AI analyzes your project data and produces a narrative that explains what the numbers mean in context.
For example, if your team resolved 40% of high-severity issues in a given month but only 10% of lower-priority items, the AI narrative will note that pattern. It may recommend shifting attention to specific WCAG criteria where open issues are concentrated. The language is direct and actionable.
The team is actively researching ways to make these AI-generated narratives more granular over time, connecting remediation patterns to User Impact and Risk Factor prioritization formulas already built into the platform.
Who Are These Reports For?
Monthly progress reports serve two audiences. Internally, project managers and accessibility leads use them to communicate remediation velocity to their teams. The reports answer the question every project owner gets asked: are we on track?
Externally, the reports are valuable for procurement and compliance documentation. Organizations pursuing ADA compliance or preparing for EAA requirements can share progress reports with buyers, auditors, or legal counsel as evidence of ongoing commitment. A progress report grounded in audit data carries more weight than a scan dashboard screenshot.
How Reports Connect to Your ACR
If your organization maintains an Accessibility Conformance Report, monthly progress reports from Accessibility Tracker create a documented trail between your last ACR and your current conformance status. ACRs do not have a formal expiration, but the recommendation is to update them after significant product changes.
Between ACR updates, progress reports fill the gap. They show that your team is actively working through the issues the audit identified and moving toward full WCAG conformance. This is especially useful for SaaS companies whose buyers request ongoing evidence of accessibility work beyond a single ACR.
Generating a Report Takes Minutes
Inside the platform, generating a monthly report is a few clicks. Select your project, choose the reporting period, and the platform compiles the data and AI narrative into a downloadable document. No spreadsheet assembly required.
Clients who use Accessibility Tracker for project management and issue tracking can generate these reports at any point during their engagement. The reports pull from the same data the team works with daily, so there is no reconciliation step between what the report says and what the project dashboard shows.
Can I customize what the report includes?
The platform structures reports around your project data automatically. The conformance standard, issue counts, resolution rates, and AI narrative are all generated from what exists in your project. You select the time period, and the report adapts to that window. There is no manual formatting involved.
Do progress reports replace an accessibility audit?
No. A (manual) accessibility audit is the only way to determine WCAG conformance. Progress reports track what happens after the audit: how issues are being addressed and how conformance status is improving. They are a project management and communication tool, not an evaluation.
How often should I generate a progress report?
Monthly is the standard cadence for most organizations. Teams in active remediation sometimes generate them biweekly to keep decision-makers informed. For procurement documentation, monthly reports aligned with your remediation timeline are typically sufficient.
Progress reports built on real audit data are one of the clearest ways to demonstrate that accessibility work is happening, not stalling. The Accessibility Tracker Platform turns that data into a document your entire organization can read and act on.
