accessibilitymany

Accessibilitymany is a term used in discussions of digital accessibility to describe the extent to which accessibility considerations are embedded across a portfolio of products, platforms, and services. It emphasizes breadth of coverage and consistency across an organization rather than the performance of a single product.

Scope and concepts: It encompasses design, development, content, testing, and governance. Core practices include adherence to WCAG guidelines, semantic HTML, keyboard operability, sufficient color contrast, and compatibility with assistive technologies, as well as inclusive design and cross-platform strategy.

Measurement and practice: Assessing accessibilitymany may combine audits, automated checks, manual testing with screen readers and other assistive technologies, and user research with people who have disabilities. Metrics include feature coverage against WCAG, remediation lead times, and progress across suites of products.

Applications and significance: The concept is used by product teams and procurement practices to promote consistent accessibility across a product line, support legal and policy compliance (for example ADA or EN 301 549), and reduce accessibility debt while improving overall usability.

Limitations and critique: The term can be vague and risk conflating breadth with depth. Achieving accessibilitymany requires sustained leadership, resources, and governance, and keeping multiple products aligned with evolving standards remains a challenge.
