Accessibility statement publication

Description

The accessibility statement is the public-facing document that says, in regulator-readable form, what the platform's current accessibility posture actually is. Most accessibility regimes (the European Accessibility Act, EU Web Accessibility Directive, US Section 508, UK PSBAR, the Ontario AODA) require one and specify roughly the same content set: which standard is being conformed to (typically WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 at AA), the conformance status (full, partial, non-conformant, with the honest answer documented rather than aspirational), the known limitations and the timeline to address them, the contact route for users who hit barriers, and the date of the most recent review. Regulators have generally been more forgiving of "partial conformance with named gaps and a remediation roadmap" than of "fully conformant" claims that turn out not to survive an actual audit; accuracy is therefore worth more here than aspiration. Statements typically need a refresh cadence (annual is the common default) and a versioning trail so the regulator can see when the last honest assessment happened.
