Evaluate the interface against the four WCAG 2.2 POUR principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. Document each issue with its location, WCAG criterion, severity rating, user impact, and concrete remediation steps with code examples.

POUR stands for Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. Perceivable covers text alternatives and contrast, Operable covers keyboard access and navigation, Understandable covers readability and input assistance, and Robust covers assistive technology compatibility.

Issues are rated on four levels: Critical blocks access entirely, Major causes significant difficulty, Minor is an inconvenience with workarounds, and Enhancement goes beyond compliance. Prioritize fixes by severity and user impact.

Yes, best practices include testing with real screen readers and other assistive technologies, and including users with disabilities when possible. Audits should also cover multiple devices, browsers, and both static and interactive states.

A manual audit depends on the auditor's coverage of pages, states, and interaction flows, so dynamic content and edge cases can be missed. It provides guidance and remediation steps but does not automatically apply fixes to the codebase.
