Accessibility Fix: Measuring HTML Repair Without Content Loss

Accessibility Fix measures whether an HTML repair corrects injected defects while retaining page content. We study 40 public synthetic pages using scripted controls and a simulated population sweep. The reference pages receive full credit on every task; unchanged pages, empty answers, and refusals receive none. A template fixer earns mean 0.788 [0.713, 0.869] with a stratified bootstrap interval. The grader rejects reference pages modified with display:none, but accepts the same references modified with clip-path concealment. A simulated gate ablation measures the credit retained when the automatic-zero gate is removed. These experiments characterize a static repair score, not complete accessibility, user benefit, or learned-model ability. No learned model or human study is included.

Abstract

Accessibility Fix measures whether an HTML repair corrects injected defects while retaining page content. We study 40 public synthetic pages using scripted controls and a simulated population sweep. The reference pages receive full credit on every task; unchanged pages, empty answers, and refusals receive none. A template fixer earns mean 0.788 [0.713, 0.869] with a stratified bootstrap interval. The grader rejects reference pages modified with display:none, but accepts the same references modified with clip-path concealment. A simulated gate ablation measures the credit retained when the automatic-zero gate is removed. These experiments characterize a static repair score, not complete accessibility, user benefit, or learned-model ability. No learned model or human study is included.
