Accessibility Statement

Corvalenix Research Ltd is committed to ensuring that corvalenix.com and our subscriber platform are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users, in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

We recognise that digital accessibility is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time exercise. We incorporate accessibility considerations into our design and development process and conduct periodic reviews of our digital properties.

Corvalenix Research targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. The following table summarises our current conformance across the four WCAG principles:

Our website is built to meet the following standards:

• WCAG 2.1 Level AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative
• WAI-ARIA 1.1 — ARIA roles and properties used to enhance semantics for assistive technology where native HTML is insufficient
• HTML5 semantic markup — landmark elements (<header>, <main>, <nav>, <footer>, <aside>) and proper heading hierarchy throughout
• CSS prefers-reduced-motion — scroll reveal animations and the hero pulsing dot are suppressed for users with vestibular sensitivities
• Responsive design — tested from 320px viewport width upward

We test our pages with multiple browsers and assistive technologies, including NVDA, VoiceOver, and keyboard-only navigation.

We are aware of the following limitations and are actively working to address them:

• Google Maps embed — the interactive map in our Contact section has limited screen reader support. Our full office address is provided in plain text immediately above the map as an accessible alternative.
• Hero SVG research terminal — marked with aria-hidden="true" as it is a decorative illustration. The information it conveys (stats, sector data) is duplicated in the page text.
• Data Dashboard interactive charts (subscriber platform) — complex data visualisations are under review for full ARIA chart role support. Text summaries of key data points are available alongside all charts.
• CSS gradient text — text rendered using CSS background-clip gradients may have reduced contrast on some displays. We are reviewing these instances against WCAG contrast criteria.

The entire Corvalenix Research website can be navigated using a keyboard alone. The following keyboard interactions are supported:

• Tab / Shift+Tab — move forward and backward through focusable elements
• Enter / Space — activate buttons, links, FAQ accordion items, and the pricing billing toggle
• Escape — close the membership enquiry popup modal
• Arrow keys — navigate within composite widgets where applicable

All interactive elements display a visible focus indicator. We have not suppressed the browser's default focus outline except where we have provided a custom high-contrast alternative.

We test our website with the following assistive technologies and aim for full compatibility:

• NVDA 2023+ with Firefox (Windows)
• JAWS 2023+ with Chrome (Windows)
• VoiceOver with Safari (macOS Sonoma, iOS 17)
• Keyboard-only navigation on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

If you experience issues using our site with an assistive technology not listed above, please report it to us at [email protected] so we can investigate.

We can provide information from our website or subscriber platform in alternative formats on request, including:

• Large print versions of key documents
• Plain text versions of market briefings and sector intelligence reports
• Tagged PDF versions of any downloadable document on our platform

To request an accessible format, email [email protected] with "Accessible Format Request" in the subject line. Include the document or page you need and your preferred format. We will respond within 5 business days.

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of corvalenix.com. If you encounter an accessibility barrier that prevents you from using any part of our site, please let us know:

• Email: [email protected] — include "Accessibility" in the subject line
• Phone: +44 20 7946 5281 — Monday to Friday, 08:30 – 17:30 GMT

We will acknowledge your message within 2 business days and aim to resolve any identified barrier within 15 business days, or provide a reasonable alternative in the interim.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate to the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) at equalityadvisoryservice.com.

This accessibility statement is reviewed annually or whenever significant changes are made to our website. Next scheduled review: January 2025.

Accessibility improvements identified during reviews or through user feedback are prioritised and tracked internally. We do not treat accessibility as a compliance exercise but as an ongoing practice of inclusive design.
