The one that went away

The exemptions people lean on too hard
What enforcement actually looks like, one year in
The penalty picture, told honestly
From fear to footing
Chapter 12. acting on the EAA — a business playbook for compliance and inclusion
Know your estate before you audit it
Audit properly, not just automatically
Prioritize by human impact, not by issue count
Remediate at the source, and beware the quick fix
Document everything — this is the part that protects you
Publish a real accessibility statement
Fix procurement and third parties
Govern it, don’t just fix it once
How this protects you from fines
Beyond compliance: the experience you actually owe your customers

Tooltips — and why toggletips are usually kinder
Carousels — the honest recipe
Test it the way people use it

Use the built-in checkers — and know their limit
Forms and slides, briefly
