How it works

The arc starts with Rover508.

Rover508 is step one of the Arca accessibility lifecycle. Map functional gaps across real user journeys, so nothing is invisible when procurement comes calling.

Add Rover508 to Chrome

One click. No configuration. Rover508 activates on any web app you open, immediately.

Walk your product surface

Rover508 executes functional tests as you navigate, capturing what a real user with assistive technology encounters in each flow.

See what auditors will see

Every gap is classified, traced to a WCAG criterion, and ranked by procurement risk, not just error severity.

Built different

Built for engineers who know axe isn't enough.

axe and WAVE check code against rules. Rover508 tests against practitioner judgment: the calibrated expertise that determines what actually fails in a real accessibility audit.

Functional testing
Tests real journeys, not page snapshots

Rover508 runs alongside your navigation, capturing dynamic states, modal flows, and interactive components that static scanners miss entirely.

Practitioner-calibrated
Ranked by procurement risk, not error count

Issues are weighted against what enterprise accessibility reviewers actually flag, not a flat list of violations sorted by severity.

WCAG 2.2 aligned
Current standard, not yesterday's checklist

Rover508 is continuously updated against WCAG 2.2 and the evolving enterprise procurement standard; results are always current.

Arc-ready output
Feeds directly into the Arca platform

Rover508 results pipe into Mission508 for remediation and Atlas508 for VPAT generation, step one of the complete accessibility arc.

"Accessibility risk that surprises you in procurement has already failed."
