Hi Steve.

Thanks for sharing your insights.

My goal is to learn how we can make accessibility audits a team effort.

The intention behind it is the idea if more people are involved in the
company, accessibility would be recognised and supported by more people.

And, as I am open to other ideas, I truly value your thoughts on how
efficient it will be if only one person was performing the audit.

Thanks again.


Julius

The one exception is that we sometimes get someone junior to do the colour contrast analysis - it doesn't take long to teach almost anyone.
