Why now

Two operating realities, one engineering response.

Two parallel shifts in how European SaaS teams ship software. Each is new engineering work that is hard to scope from the inside.

Accessibility

The European Accessibility Act is in effect.

The EAA applies to a broad set of digital products and services sold into the EU, including SaaS serving European customers. Automated scans surface a fraction of the real WCAG issues, so engineering teams still need a prioritised, implementable plan tied to their codebase. The accessibility audit produces that plan: a compliance-readiness assessment, not legal certification.

AI adoption

AI coding tools spread faster than the governance around them.

Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot are already in daily use across most engineering teams, with adoption uneven from one engineer to the next. The familiar gaps are inconsistent code quality, unclear allowed use, and weak repository-specific guidance. The AI adoption audit produces a tooling-fit assessment, repo-specific rules, and a rollout roadmap for engineering governance.

Audit products

Four fixed offers. Clear scope before kickoff.

Accessibility

EAA Accessibility Audit

For SaaS teams that need to understand EAA/WCAG exposure and turn accessibility findings into a prioritized engineering backlog.

€7,50014 days
  • Technical findings report
  • Prioritized remediation backlog
  • WCAG/EAA mapping
  • Dev-hour estimates
  • 3 sample PRs
Explore EAA audit

Remediation

Best when the team needs urgent component-level remediation, not a product-wide rewrite. If the codebase is too degraded for five fixes to make a meaningful impact, start with the audit alone.

EAA Audit + Top-Critical Remediation

For teams that need the audit plus implementation of the highest-priority frontend accessibility fixes.

€12,00014 days
  • Everything in the EAA Audit
  • Up to 5 Critical/High component-level frontend fixes
  • Fixes agreed at kickoff
  • Delivered inside the same 14-day window

AI governance

AI Adoption Audit

For engineering teams already using Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot without consistent governance, repo-specific rules, or quality controls.

€5,0007 days
  • Tooling-fit assessment
  • Maturity scorecard
  • AI usage risk map
  • Custom Cursor / Claude Code rules + MCP templates
  • 30/60/90 rollout roadmap

Example output

See a deliverable, not a promise.

Every audit ships findings as engineer-ready tickets: severity, WCAG criterion, EAA mapping, root cause, a concrete fix, and a dev-hour estimate. Here is one, in the format you would receive it.

High severity

Example output: illustrative, not from a client engagement

Modal dialog returns focus to body, not the trigger element

— Affected
Shared <Dialog> primitive: checkout, account settings, invite flow
— User impact
Keyboard and screen reader users lose their place in the page after closing any dialog. Focus drops to document body, forcing a manual re-tab through the navigation to resume the task.
— Technical cause
The dialog component unmounts on close without storing the previously focused element. Radix's onOpenChange handler is wired, but the parent caller does not call element.focus() on the trigger after the close transition completes.
— Suggested fix
Capture document.activeElement on open and restore focus to it inside a useEffect cleanup. Wrap with FocusScope from @radix-ui/react-focus-scope and set loop=false. Add a Playwright keyboard test that opens, closes, and asserts the trigger is the active element.

Category fit

Not a scanner. Not a widget. Not a six-month consultancy.

AuditSmith sits between tooling and enterprise programs: a short, senior-led audit that produces implementation-ready artefacts.

Where AuditSmith fits

Fixed-scope engineering audit

A fixed-scope audit that produces reports, backlog items, rules, roadmaps, and sample implementation artefacts.

Operator proof

Performed end-to-end by one senior frontend engineer.

One senior engineer runs each audit end to end: scoping, the technical pass, and the implementation-ready writeup. The work behind it is public and checkable: open-source packages and shipped production products.

Access and boundaries

Clear security, independence, and scope boundaries.

Built so internal champions can forward this page to legal, security, and procurement without surprises.

— Legal

  • Standard NDA

    Plain-English mutual NDA available before any access discussion.

  • 24-hour countersign

    NDA returned countersigned within one business day.

— Access

  • Repo access under NDA

    Read-only repository access handled under signed NDA, scoped to the surfaces being audited.

  • Least-access principle

    Only the access required to deliver the audit. Nothing broader, nothing retained.

— Independence

  • No outsourcing

    One senior engineer performs the work end-to-end. No subcontractors, no offshore handoff.

  • No overlay resale

    Independent of accessibility overlays, scanner vendors, and remediation widgets.

  • No AI tooling reseller

    Independent of Cursor, Claude, Copilot, and other AI vendors. No referral fees.

— Data

  • 30-day data deletion

    Repository copies, engagement notes, and working artefacts deleted 30 days after delivery.

  • Sample PR fallback

    If repo access is not possible, sample changes ship as gists or patch files instead of pull requests.

Pricing
