Compliance badge
A live shield proving your site meets WCAG 2.1 / 2.2 AA. Embeds in any README, footer, or landing page. Free forever, even on the free tier.
States
States update automatically once you wire your repo to axle CI. Unknown URLs render as “pending scan” — still shareable, still drives adoption.

axle provides remediation assistance. A badge is not a compliance certificate — it reflects the outcome of automated checks. Manual human review is still recommended for full WCAG conformance.
