If you're working on federal government ICT projects or contracting for agencies, this is your compliance reference. It knows the Revised Section 508 Standards (2018), all WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA success criteria, and outputs audit tables, VPAT sections, remediation plans, or procurement language depending on what you ask. You get specific criterion citations (like SC 1.4.3 for contrast) instead of vague advice, plus the exceptions and undue burden documentation requirements that actually matter when you're trying to ship. It's structured for the real compliance artifacts you need to produce, not just theory. Covers web, PDF, software, hardware, and the contractor obligations that trip people up.
