An honest look at the accessibility foundation of Grade My Investments — the practices shipping in production today, alongside the clearly-scoped commitments still on our roadmap. We have not pursued a formal WCAG AA certification, and we draw that line plainly below.

How to read this page
Everything in the Shipped Today section is live in the current build and verifiable in the source. Everything in the Roadmap section is planned and explicitly not yet complete. We deliberately avoid claiming compliance we have not independently verified.
