Wanted to link to our internal list of media.

The key themes above should include the elements of the short summary doc but can focus on the vision:

• Buyers can more easily compare solutions
• Managers can finally evaluate what interfaces may limit their staff
• Executives can better understand the risks of present digital interfaces
• Vendors can provide government better transparency into product accessibility conformance

and the solution:

• A machine-readable semantic version that separates content from the presentation layer
• An intuitive user interface that empowers software vendors to generate an ACR that can be written in open standards, allowing the product to be extended
• An enterprise view where multiple ACRs to be organized and consistently presented
• A function that compares ACR versions and tracks changes over time
• A built-in validation layer to ensure data quality and integrity
