Accessibility and design systems — leverage curves
This post summarises accessibility and design systems — leverage curves — drawing on public data from WebAIM, Seyfarth Shaw, Forrester, Deque, WCAG-WAI, the DOJ, the EU Commission and major industry research published in 2024–2025.

We pull from public, citable sources only — government statistics, peer-reviewed research, analyst-firm publications, and primary regulator publications. No private or paid data is included unless explicitly disclosed.

What this means for accessibility teams
Use these benchmarks for board-level reporting, budget justification, and audit-cycle planning. Re-run quarterly as fresh data lands.
Limitations
Public data lags. New laws and recent rulings may not yet be reflected in survey-based research. Treat this as a snapshot, not a forecast.
