Accessibility should begin in design, not post-launch QA. AI-assisted linting and audit tools let teams surface issues early and standardize quality.

Recommended Workflow

1. Audit wireframes and high-fidelity comps with accessibility tooling.
2. Resolve contrast, focus flow, and semantic intent before handoff.
3. Document outcomes in your design system governance notes.

This creates better products and reduces expensive late-stage remediation.
