# Exercise 10 — Audit a process and write the report

**Difficulty:** ●●●●● · **Covers:** all five WCAG-EM steps

The full exercise. You are the auditor; produce something a client would pay for.

## Your task

Evaluate the **Riverline Books** sample site against **WCAG 2.2 Level AA** and produce a
complete evaluation report.

## Method — all five steps

1. **Define the scope.** Complete the
   [scope worksheet](../../evaluation/templates/scope-worksheet.html). Decide what is in,
   what is out, your conformance target, and your accessibility support baseline.
2. **Explore the site.** Build an inventory: common pages, essential functionality, page
   types, technologies, and anything unusual. Do not audit yet.
3. **Select a sample.** Complete the
   [sample selection record](../../evaluation/templates/sample-selection.html). Justify
   every page. Remember that **every page of the checkout process** must be included.
4. **Audit the sample.** One [audit record](../../evaluation/templates/audit-record.html)
   per page.
5. **Report.** Complete the
   [evaluation report](../../evaluation/templates/wcagem-report.html).

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] The scope statement is unambiguous — someone else could apply it without asking you
      a question.
- [ ] The sample includes every essential task **end to end**, and its justification is
      recorded per page.
- [ ] Findings are **aggregated by cause**, not listed per instance. A stylesheet defect
      affecting eight pages is one finding.
- [ ] The conformance result is stated literally and correctly. **No percentages.**
- [ ] Findings are prioritised, with blockers first.
- [ ] The report names its own limitations.
- [ ] You have found at least one defect that only appears when comparing pages
      (3.2.3, 3.2.4 or 3.2.6). These are invisible to page-by-page auditing and are the
      most commonly missed.

## Stretch

Write the **accessibility statement** the site should publish, and a
[VPAT/ACR](../../evaluation/templates/vpat-acr.html) row for each failing criterion.
Notice how differently you have to write for each of the three audiences.
