A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is a structured report of how a product conforms to accessibility standards such as WCAG. Buyers use it to compare vendors and to document due diligence in procurement.
A useful VPAT is specific: criteria mapped to evidence, not marketing language. We write them from the same audit work that produces the findings — no separate theater track.
What buyers actually read
Procurement teams skim for coverage of the standards they care about, then dig into remarks where conformance is partial or not supported. Vague language (“supports with exceptions”) without evidence is a red flag; concrete remarks with methods and versions build trust.
How we put one together
We start from a real audit: automated scans plus manual testing with assistive technologies on the critical paths. Findings map to VPAT rows so every claim has a trail. If a criterion is not supported, we say so — and we say what would change that answer.
When you need one
You need a VPAT when a buyer, agency, or RFP asks for documented accessibility conformance. You also need one when your sales cycle keeps stalling on “send us your accessibility paperwork.” A clear VPAT shortens that conversation because it answers the question once, with evidence.
