Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas may have limitations:

• PDF Analysis Reports: Downloadable PDF reports may have limited screen reader optimization. HTML versions are fully accessible.
• Complex Data Visualizations: Some risk score charts provide text alternatives but may not be fully navigable with screen readers.
• Third-Party Content: Some embedded content from third-party services may not meet our accessibility standards.

We are actively working to address these limitations.
