Roadmap & changelog

Shipped

• Clean-room Ascent Accessibility rule engine (no third-party scanners).
• Version-aware standards: WCAG 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 (A/AA/AAA) plus Section 508.
• Six-stage conformance pipeline with per-instruction nature taxonomy (100% SC coverage).
• AI-assisted review (vision + audio) with a confidence fail-safe.
• Conformance outcome (conforms / does not conform / not yet determined) replacing the 0–100 score.
• Draft ACR export (VPAT-structured, from automated results); full verified ACR follows human review.
• ESG & regulatory mapping (GRI, ESRS, SASB, EN 301 549, Section 508, EAA, AODA, BITV).
• Per-SC remediation library.
• Open-sourced the machine + AI assessment engines (github.com/humanity4ai/ascent-accessibility).

Planned

• Independent human review by a lived-experience workforce (in partnership with disability-serving charities), with a signed, dated conformance evaluation report.
• Internationalization — additional languages for the product and report.
• CI/CD integration and a public API for programmatic conformance evaluation.
• Continuous monitoring and regression alerting across assessments.
• WCAG 3.0 support once the specification stabilizes.
• Public benchmark results against the W3C/WAI test suites.
