SummaryA research framework decomposes WCAG web accessibility auditing into criterion-specific worker agents sharing browser tools, implementing 39 WCAG 2.1 A/AA criteria plus one 2.2 criterion. On 250 page-criterion records from professional audits, workers recover 0.86 of positive reference labels, vs 0.36 for axe-core and 0.67 for an uncued VLM, with lower precision.
Why it mattersQuantified case study of decomposing a compliance audit into specialized worker agents, with head-to-head numbers against a rule-based tool and a monolithic VLM.
