Accessibility at Scale
Ai1Y helps organizations embed accessibility into the way they operate—across products, platforms, processes, and customer experiences—so inclusion is not an afterthought, but a core value and competency.
We work with organizations at every stage in their accessibility journey – from initial awareness, to early adoption, to best practice assimilation, to mature ownership. Our approach blends strategy, governance, change management, and hands‑on implementation to help teams move from intention to impact—without slowing innovation.
Accessibility isn’t a checkbox. It’s a practice. Ai1Y exists to help organizations build accessibility into the ways of working.

What We Do
Ai1Y partners with organizations to design, activate, and scale accessibility as a business practice. Our work spans digital, physical, and operational experiences—supporting teams where accessibility intersects with technology, customer experience, and organizational change.
We provide:
- Fractional Chief Accessibility Officer (CAO) leadership for organizations that need senior‑level accessibility expertise without a full‑time hire
- Accessibility audits and testing resources, including policy, design, content, and platform assessments
- Point‑of‑view (POV) guidance on platform and vendor assessments, helping teams make informed, future‑proof decisions
- Scalable playbooks and operating models that align accessibility to roles, workflows, and maturity levels across the organization
Our work is grounded in real‑world constraints—budget, timelines, compliance risk, and team capacity—so accessibility becomes achievable, repeatable, and sustainable.
Our Framework to Accessibility at Scale
Understand → Activate → Scale
Understand
We help organizations build a shared understanding of accessibility—what it is, why it matters, and where risk and opportunity exist today.
This stage focuses on:
- Establishing a baseline through audits and assessments
- Identifying regulatory, legal, and customer‑experience risks
- Aligning leadership and teams on accessibility goals
- Clarifying roles, responsibilities, and ownership
The outcome: a clear, organization‑specific view of current state, gaps, and priorities.
Activate
Once the foundation is clear, we help teams move from insight to action and change.
This stage includes:
- Activating accessibility controls within product, design, content, and technology workflows
- Providing fractional Chief Accessibility Officer (CAO) leadership to guide decision‑making and governance
- Supporting platform selection and vendor evaluations with an accessibility POV
- Equipping teams with practical guidance, tools, and testing resources
The outcome: accessibility becomes part of how work gets done—not a separate initiative.
Scale
True accessibility maturity requires consistency across teams, platforms, and experiences.
In this stage, we help organizations:
- Operationalize accessibility across business units and functions
- Build repeatable playbooks aligned to organizational levels and roles
- Establish governance, metrics, and continuous improvement models
- Enable long‑term ownership so accessibility sustains beyond individual champions
The outcome: accessibility is embedded into the organization’s operating model and scales with growth.
