# VPAT — Accessibility Audit & ACR Generator ## Overview The **VPAT** (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is a standardized template created by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI). When you fill it out for a specific product, the result is an **ACR** (Accessibility Conformance Report). This skill automates both the audit process and ACR generation for web applications. **Core standard:** WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA — the globally recognized benchmark for web accessibility, referenced by Section 508, EN 301 549, and most procurement policies. ## When to Use - Before a product launch or procurement response - When a customer or institution requires a VPAT/ACR - During accessibility remediation sprints - As a periodic compliance check ## Audit Workflow ``` START │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ 1.
