Additionally, the argument might not be specific to inclusive design.

I think the point of persuasion is to do things right the first time, which is what inclusive design leads to.

I would be very interested in what you find, JP. We all know the pain, just need evidence to persuade others.

I have seen a graphic that illustrates the cost of defect fixing by stage that shows an increase 10 times exponentially.

I reached out to my colleague about where he found it and others like it. The graphic he sent to me is from a book 'Software Engineering- by Barry Boehm.

He suggests looking at the Software Engineering Institute. He also sent me this link: http://www.ieee.org/index.html and says that the IEEE standards drives the electronic/digital world.

Best,

Subject: [WebAIM] Remediation Cost Versus Inclusive Design Cost

Hi folks,

I have been researching this topic, but couldn't find anything useful. I'd
like some information on how much it would cost to perform assessment and
remediation on a project versus using inclusive design at the wireframe. My
goal is to find evidence that implementing accessibility at the start of a
project is cheaper than going through evaluation and remediation.


Any help or references will be highly appreciated.
