Supplies your current conformance report and routes questions about specific criteria to whoever owns accessibility, instead of guessing.
An AI agent for accessibility and VPAT requests handles a document that decides deals in public sector, education and large enterprise procurement, and that most vendors treat as an afterthought. A buyer's accessibility requirement is usually a hard gate rather than a preference: a university or a government department cannot procure software that fails it, regardless of how well the evaluation went. The agent supplies your current conformance report, states plainly which standard and version it covers and when it was produced, and — the important part — routes questions about specific success criteria to whoever owns accessibility. Guessing at a criterion is the failure mode here, because a wrong answer about conformance is a representation that a procurement office will rely on and later hold you to.
Supplies the current report, never interprets a criterion.
Supplies the current conformance report on request
States which standard and version the report covers
States when the report was produced and by whom
Explains what an interim or partial conformance claim means
Routes questions about specific criteria to the accessibility owner
Never asserts conformance the report does not support
Accessibility requirements do not usually produce an argument. They produce a procurement office quietly removing a vendor from consideration, often without telling them why, because the conformance report was missing, out of date, or claimed something the buyer's own testing contradicted. That last case is the one worth avoiding hardest: a vendor who overstates conformance in a document does more damage than one who reports honest partial support with a remediation roadmap, because the overstatement becomes a credibility problem across the whole review. Handling these requests properly means always sending the current report, always stating its scope and date, and never letting an enthusiastic answer about a specific criterion get ahead of what has actually been tested. The second-order benefit is visibility: knowing how often this is asked for, by which kinds of buyer, is usually what finally justifies commissioning an updated report.
Send the current report, state its scope, route the specifics.
One controlled version, never a copy somebody had locally from two releases ago.
Which standard, which version, which parts of the product, produced when and by whom.
Any question about an individual success criterion goes to the accessibility owner rather than being answered by inference.
A criterion question that would have been answered wrongly.
Scenario: a vendor had been dropped from a university procurement the previous year without ever being told the reason, and found out months later it was an unanswered accessibility question. A new request arrives from a public sector buyer asking for the conformance report and, separately, whether the product's data grid supports keyboard-only navigation for sorting and filtering. The agent sends the current report with its standard, version, scope and production date attached. It does not answer the grid question, even though the report contains a general statement that sounds close — a general statement is not a test result for a specific interaction. It routes the question to the accessibility owner, who confirms that sorting is keyboard accessible, filtering is partially so, and remediation is scheduled. That honest, specific answer with a date is accepted. The optimistic answer the agent did not give would have been contradicted the first time the buyer's own testers touched the filter.
Anybody selling to public sector, education or large enterprise.
Criterion questions must reach you, not be inferred.

Request volume is what justifies commissioning an update.
This is a hard gate, not a preference.
Where the report lives and who answers the specifics.
Holds the current conformance report as one controlled version.
Records the report's standard, version, scope, date and who requested it.
Supplies the report with its scope and date stated.
Routes individual criterion questions to the accessibility owner.
Records which accounts have an accessibility requirement.
Reports how often the report is requested and by which buyer type.
The accessibility requests that decide procurement.
Questions about handling accessibility requirements.

Because a general conformance statement is not a test result for a specific interaction. The gap between them is exactly where an overstatement happens, and the buyer's own testers will find it.
Far less than an overstatement. Honest partial support with a remediation date is normal and generally accepted; a claim contradicted by the buyer's testing damages credibility across the entire review.
Send it with its date stated rather than hiding it, and treat the request as evidence. Request volume is usually what finally justifies the cost of commissioning an update.
In public sector and education it is frequently a hard procurement gate. What makes it dangerous is that it disqualifies quietly — most vendors never learn that this was the reason.
Whoever owns accessibility in product, not sales. The claims are testable statements about the product, and they need somebody who can verify them.
Assert conformance the report does not support, including in a softened form. "I believe that's supported" in an email becomes a procurement record just as surely as a formal claim.
