The letter arrives on a Tuesday. It's from a law firm you've never heard of. They've scanned your website, found violations, and they're giving you 30 days to respond before filing in federal court. The settlement demand is $15,000. Legal defense, if it gets that far, costs another $10,000 just to show up.
 
You call your developer. They tell you the site looks fine. You google the law firm. They've filed over 400 identical cases this year. You are not special. You are Tuesday's batch.
 
Or maybe you're not there yet. Maybe it was a comment in a Slack community that made you quietly open your own site in a new tab, suddenly noticing things you'd never noticed before. Maybe someone in due diligence asked for your accessibility audit. The meeting moved on but the question didn't. Maybe you sell to Europe and you know the EAA exists, that it's been enforceable since June 2025, that fines reach €100,000 — and you've been meaning to look into it for four months.
 
Maybe two years ago you paid $49 a month for an overlay widget and told yourself it was handled. Roughly 25% of 2024 ADA lawsuits targeted sites that already had one installed. The widget didn't fix anything. It just made the violations invisible to you — not to the lawyers.
 
What all of these situations have in common: you don't actually know what's broken on your site. Not in a way you could show a lawyer, explain to a developer, or use to defend yourself if you had to.
 
That's the only gap Equably closes.
Know exactly what's broken — before someone else uses it against you.
