Accessibility overlay vs technical remediation
An accessibility overlay can add user-facing controls, but it usually does not repair the underlying product, form, semantic, focus, document, or checkout issues.
The product still needs to be accessible
If a button has no accessible name, a modal traps focus, or an error message is not connected to its input, the underlying interface needs technical remediation.
Evidence matters
Teams need documented findings, affected templates, remediation notes, and verification. A widget is not a substitute for technical evidence.
Monitoring should follow remediation
Once issues are fixed, regression checks help catch new accessibility failures from CMS, design-system, or release changes.
Should we remove our overlay?
Not automatically. The practical question is whether the underlying experience has been technically reviewed and remediated.
Can Silicon Lemma compare overlay risk?
Yes. We can review the core product behavior and identify where technical remediation is still needed.
