- What it is
- A checklist from the accessibility organization WebAIM that lists each WCAG 2 success criterion with its conformance level (A, AA or AAA) in plain language.
- How much weight it carries
- WebAIM is a long-established accessibility group at Utah State University and the checklist mirrors the W3C criteria. It is a summary, so the W3C's WCAG text remains the normative source.
