Why Internal Capability Beats Dependency
❌ The Dependency Model
- • Consultants fix issues → Issues reoccur → Repeat cycle
- • Your team never learns accessibility principles
- • Ongoing consultant fees: $5K-$15K monthly, indefinitely
- • Slow turnaround waiting for external reviews
- • No internal champion or accessibility culture
5-year cost: $300K-$900K in consultant fees
✓ The Education Model
- • Your team learns to prevent issues at the source
- • Developers code accessibly from day one
- • QA catches violations before production
- • Internal reviews = faster iteration cycles
- • Accessibility becomes part of your culture
5-year cost: $25K-$50K (training investment only)
Savings: $250K-$850K over 5 years (83-95% reduction)
Plus faster delivery, better quality, and sustainable compliance
