Curbcut maps accessibility bugs to the clauses regulators actually use

Why it surfaced

Curbcut does more than produce a pile of axe rule identifiers: its public demo turns five failures into clause-level findings, with explanations such as why a missing form label can block a screen-reader user from completing checkout. The deliberately broken page, MIT-licensed code, and unusually candid promise to draft a statement that “does not lie” give the tool a useful editorial voice as well as a concrete mechanism.

A browser-based and command-line accessibility scanner that translates findings into EN 301 549 clause references, ranks them by regulatory exposure, and flags what automation cannot check.
