OBJECTIVE
Review [GRAPHIC OR DOCUMENT] for barriers affecting [INTENDED AUDIENCE].
CONTEXT
Publication format: [PUBLICATION FORMAT]. Expected viewing conditions: [VIEWING CONDITIONS]. Editable source availability: [SOURCE AVAILABILITY].
INSTRUCTIONS
Evaluate text legibility, color dependence, contrast risks, reading order, information density, icon ambiguity, and essential text embedded in images. Separate issues directly observable in the supplied material from those requiring measurement or user testing. Rank findings by their impact on understanding. Recommend precise visual fixes and a companion text alternative. Draft alt text appropriate to the graphic's purpose, avoiding unnecessary visual detail. If the output is a document, identify structural accessibility checks that cannot be confirmed from a screenshot alone.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not declare legal compliance or verified contrast ratios without suitable evidence. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Do not treat an attractive redesign as proof that accessibility problems are resolved.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return a barrier-and-remedy table, a verification plan, draft alternative text, and a prioritized release checklist.
