Check my site’s complianceAutomated RGAA audit: complement or alternative?
An RGAA audit is a systematic evaluation of a website's accessibility according to the 106 RGAA criteria, themselves derived from WCAG 2.1 (international standard). It determines the compliance rate and non-conformities to fix.
An official audit costs \u20ac3,000 to \u20ac15,000 and takes 2 to 4 weeks. The automated RGAA pre-audit covers the same 106 criteria in 3 minutes to identify technical issues before the expert intervenes.
Since the EAA compliance obligation and the entry into force of the European Accessibility Act, the pre-audit has become a key step to reduce the cost and duration of compliance.

What classic accessibility tools don’t test
axe, WAVE and Lighthouse cover 20–30% of RGAA criteria. Scrutia goes further.
Real keyboard navigation
Real Tab traversal in the browser. Detection of keyboard traps, invisible focus, non-functional ARIA components.
Dynamic tests
Clicks, menu opening, Escape key, tabs. Scrutia interacts with the page like a real user.
Contextual AI analysis
Explicit links, language changes, heading structure: Claude analyzes context instead of applying binary rules.
How Scrutia calculates the RGAA score
A 4-step process, fully automated, reproducible and verifiable.
DOM Crawl
Playwright opens a real browser, loads the page, executes JavaScript and captures the complete DOM.
RGAA + WCAG Tests
Each of the 106 RGAA criteria (based on WCAG 2.1) is evaluated by automated rules + real keyboard navigation.
AI Analysis
Claude analyzes complex criteria (explicit links, structure, language) to go beyond binary rules.
Weighted Scoring
Confirmed score (floor) + estimated score (upper bound). Each verdict is traced and verifiable in the report.
RGAA compliance verification methodology
How to read the scores
Confirmed score
Criteria evaluated definitively: compliant or non-compliant. This is the floor.
Estimated score
Projection if criteria marked "to verify" are compliant. This is the upper bound.
In practice
The official score (human audit) generally falls between these two bounds.
Designed to complement, not replace
- 56% of RGAA criteria evaluated automatically (59/106). The remaining 44% are identified, documented and guided for human verification.
- The estimated score is not an official compliance rate. It cannot be used in an accessibility statement.
- Scrutia prepares and accelerates the human audit. You fix technical issues upfront, the expert focuses on relevance criteria.
