The real gate is WCAG skill, careful notes, and client trust.

Accessibility microprojects can help if they leave a real WCAG audit packet behind. A useful packet shows the page, the accessibility criterion, the barrier, the evidence, the suggested fix, and whether the fix passed a retest. Tool scores alone do not carry the bridge.

Before you bank on it

Make the finding testable before you sell the path. If a QA lead or developer cannot reproduce the issue and understand the fix, the work is still too thin.
