What is accessibility remediation?

Remediation covers the concrete defects that make content unusable: missing alternative text, absent or misordered headings, tables without header associations, insufficient colour contrast, form fields with no labels, and reading order that diverges from visual order. Done document by document it is slow and does not scale past a few thousand files; done as a project it produces an estate compliant on one date that drifts immediately as new content arrives. Both failures share a cause, which is that the content has no declared structure to correct. Centralpoint converts content into structurally addressable form during ingestion, so remediation operates on real elements rather than on visual approximations. Because the requirement can then be enforced at ingestion and publication, accessibility becomes a condition of being in the estate rather than a periodic clean-up — and the same conversion feeds full-text indexing and metadata enrichment, so one transformation serves three obligations.
