Field notes

A visitor supplies a URL rather than creating an account, and the page says the audit follows links from the homepage. Findings are ordered by their effect on residents completing tasks, with repeated instances of a problem collapsed into one fix. The site explicitly limits what the automated report can establish: it describes the result as a floor, not a conformance certificate, and says keyboard and screen-reader testing still needs a person.
