  This Accessibility Conformance Report presents the results of Laserfiche's accessibility
  evaluation of Federated Search. Conformance was evaluated against WCAG 2.1 (Level A and AA).
  Success criteria outside the evaluated scope — including later WCAG 2.2 additions and all Level
  AAA criteria that were not tested — are listed as "Not Evaluated" rather than assigned an untested
  rating.
evaluation_methods_used: >-
  To evaluate this product, we used general product knowledge, tested with assistive technologies
  such as the NVDA screen reader, and manually tested the product to ensure behavior. A third-party
  consultant also ran an assessment whose results are incorporated.
