Accessibility Statement

Effective date: May 7, 2026

Our Commitment

Democratize Technology is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. WCAG defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

reasoning.services is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard due to the known limitations listed below.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some content may not be fully accessible. The following known limitations are being addressed:

  • Colour contrast (some interface elements): Several design tokens do not meet the 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio for normal text. Remediation is tracked in ADR-331.
  • API key management dialogs: The modal dialogs for creating and revoking API keys are being updated to include full ARIA dialog semantics, focus trapping, and Escape-key dismissal per WCAG 4.1.2.
  • Complex interactive tools: Some MCP reasoning tools may present large amounts of structured text that is optimised for sighted reading. All tool output is plain text and is readable by assistive technologies, but the visual layout may not convey hierarchy to screen readers in all cases.

If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please use the feedback mechanism below.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of reasoning.services. Please let us know if you encounter accessibility barriers:

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 2 business days.

Assessment Approach

Democratize Technology assessed the accessibility of reasoning.services by the following approaches:

  • Automated testing: Page-level and component-level accessibility audits run on every CI build using axe-core (jest-axe) per ADR-301.
  • Manual review: Keyboard navigation and screen-reader testing during feature development and on a scheduled basis.
  • External evaluation: Planned for future compliance cycles.

Our Services

reasoning.services hosts AI-powered reasoning tools delivered via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). All tools use a text-based input and output model — no audio, video, or visual-only content is required to use any service.

  • Structured Reflection: Multi-perspective analysis through guided text prompts
  • Sequential Thinking: Step-by-step reasoning with auditable decision trails
  • Context Switcher: Perspective-shifting analysis for complex problems
  • Decision Matrix: Systematic decision analysis with weighted scoring

How Our Services Work

All services accept plain text input and return plain text output. They are compatible with:

  • Screen readers: All tool output is text-based with no visual-only elements
  • Keyboard navigation: All controls are standard HTML elements reachable by Tab key
  • Browser zoom and text resizing: Responsive design supports up to 400% zoom without horizontal scrolling
  • High-contrast and forced-colour modes: CSS media queries respond to user colour preferences
