An accessibility decision record is a structured document logging design tradeoffs and compliance mappings for a feature. You need it when designing or shipping a feature to inform implementation and enable future audits.

You map feature design decisions to WCAG criteria by generating a compliance map within the accessibility decision record, providing rationale and evidence for each choice to enable audits and team handoffs.

Yes, you can track accessibility tradeoffs and open items during development. The generated record includes a tradeoff register and an open items list to track unresolved issues across the lifecycle stages.

The best way to capture design rationale for accessibility audits is to generate a decision record that maps choices to WCAG criteria with evidence. This produces a compliance map that ensures decisions are traceable and reusable across teams.

Yes, recording accessibility decisions this way works across multiple teams. It produces a structured decision record with summaries and compliance mappings that ensure decisions remain traceable and reusable during handoffs.
