Turn accessibility evidence into leadership decisions

Build a short agency brief with user impact, process evidence, and decisions needed.

Starter draft for review. Use as a conversation or planning aid.

Give the brief a clear boundary

Name the service, reporting period, included systems, evidence sources, and evidence owner. State what was reviewed and what remains unknown. A scanner score describes its covered checks and content; it does not establish whole-service conformance.

A one-page leadership brief

People and service: the task affected, observed barrier, and current support route.
Delivery: actions completed, overdue actions, owners, and confirmed fixes within the reviewed scope.
Working practice: changes to a template, buying decision, release checkpoint, training, or accountability process.
Decision needed: the specific funding, ownership, vendor, or cross-team decision and its due date.
Follow-through: the next review date, evidence owner, and way to confirm the decision was carried out.

Choose measures you can explain

Reach: Count services or assets reviewed and state the denominator and selection method.
Impact: Summarize task barriers and feedback within the reviewed sample, including unresolved needs.
Response: Track time to acknowledge and resolve reported barriers using an agency-agreed process.
Prevention: Record whether recurring errors led to changes in templates, procurement, training, or delivery practices.
Accountability: Review overdue actions and decisions awaiting an authorized owner.

Close the learning loop

At the next meeting, begin with the previous decision log. Verify what changed, what users experienced, and what support is still needed. Assign a new action only when someone can own it.
