Accessibility is a product feature, not a legal checkbox.
Most companies aim for the legal minimum and hope nobody sues. We think that's backwards. A trading desk you can't use is a trading desk that doesn't work, and "works for everyone" is literally our pitch. Here's what we hold ourselves to.
WCAG 2.2 AA everywhere, AAA where it counts
Every page targets WCAG 2.2 AA as the minimum: full keyboard operation, visible focus, real labels, correct landmarks, contrast at or above required ratios. Where AAA is practical (contrast in high-contrast mode, plain-language copy, no timing requirements anywhere), we do AAA.
Nothing moves that you can't stop
The scrolling ticker has a pause button, honors your system's reduced-motion setting automatically, and screen readers get a static text snapshot instead of a marquee. No autoplaying video, no flashing, ever.
Charts that talk
Every chart carries a text description of what it shows, updated with the data: symbol, range, start, end, and direction. The AI desk itself is a text interface, so every number on every panel is also available as a plain sentence by asking for it.
The whole product works without the screen
Every feature on this site is also a tool on our API and MCP endpoint. If our UI ever fails you, the product hasn't: any assistive technology, screen reader workflow, or your own AI agent can drive the entire desk as structured text. Accessibility isn't a retrofit layer here; the accessible interface is the same one the product runs on.
One hand, one switch, no mouse, no problem
Everything is reachable by keyboard alone: skip links, logical tab order, Escape closes dialogs, focus returns where you left it. Nothing requires hover, precise pointing, dragging, or multiple simultaneous inputs.
48-hour fix commitment
Find an accessibility barrier and we treat it as a sev-1 bug: acknowledged within 24 hours, fixed or given a shipped workaround within 48. Email Support@kitsunetechnologies.org with "access" anywhere in the subject and it jumps every queue we have.
Formal bit: Tapewatch aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, published by the W3C, and to the accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act as applied to web services. We audit every release with automated tooling (axe-core) plus manual keyboard and screen reader passes, and this page will always state anything that currently falls short. Right now known gaps are: none. If you find one we missed, the pledge above applies.
