Scoring & Manual Boundaries
How Automated Scoring Works
Automated engines like Axe-core deterministically detect measurable WCAG 2.1/2.2 technical violations (roughly 30–40% of total criteria by rule count, accounting for a high share of real-world blockers such as contrast, missing names, and broken form labels). Criteria with zero deterministic Axe-core rules remain marked Not Evaluated.
