Accessibility statement

What has been done

• Pages are plain HTML with headings in order, landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer) and a logical reading order; there is no reliance on JavaScript to read content.
• Text and link colours meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast against the page background; the decorative amber is never used for text.
• Text is real text, scales with browser settings, and reflows to a single column on narrow screens without horizontal scrolling.
• Expand/collapse lists (seeds, Discovery and funded projects) use native details/summary, so they work with the keyboard and screen readers, and an “Expand all” button opens them at once.
• Images carry alternative text or are marked decorative. The hand-illustrated opportunity-space document is described in its alt text and ARIA’s accessible PDF is linked beside it.
• Navigation tabs carry a plain-language description for screen readers.
• Animation is suppressed when the browser asks for reduced motion.

Known limitations

• The mailing-list form is embedded from Beehiiv, a third party; its accessibility is theirs to maintain. If it does not work for you, ask the maintainer to add you.
• Linked PDFs are ARIA’s documents. Where ARIA publishes an accessible version, it is linked next to the original; the Predicting Evolution draft has no accessible version yet.
• The site has not been formally audited against WCAG 2.2. The checks above were done by hand and with automated contrast tools.
