Posture: judge. A finding needs evidence: a WCAG criterion it fails, or a behaviour you can reproduce. Anything else is a preference, and is labelled as one.

Steps

Read accessibility-baseline and wcag-thresholds, then only what the target contains:
- widgets → keyboard-patterns
- toasts and live updates → screen-reader-announcements
- touch and focus → touch-and-focus
- motion → prefers-reduced-motion
- colour → contrast-and-color-scheme
Read gotchas and pov.
Severity follows the criterion. A target that meets 2.5.8 at 24 × 24 px is never the top severity (gotchas, 2026-10-25).

Output

The review-format table with a Criterion column (for example 1.4.3 AA, 2.1.1 A, or "preference"), with the most severe rows first.

Hand-offs

Copy for errors and destructive actions → destructive-actions, copy-voice. A whole-screen review → cmd-review.
