Our commitment

Geo Horizon publishes research that is meant to be read and used. This site should work for anyone who wants to read it, including people using a screen reader, keyboard-only navigation, magnification, or a browser with their own colors and font sizes applied.

Copy slot — confirm the organizational commitment wording with counsel before publication.

Standard we work to

We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. Where a page falls short of that standard, it is listed under known limitations below with a date by which we expect to fix it.

What we have done

  • Text and interface elements meet the AA contrast thresholds, measured rather than estimated.
  • Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus outline that is never removed.
  • Headings, landmarks and lists carry real semantics, so a screen reader can navigate the structure of a page.
  • Images that carry meaning have text alternatives; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
  • Motion is limited to short fades and small movements, and respects a reduced-motion preference.
  • Pages reflow to a single column without loss of content at 320px and at 400% zoom.
