Practical translation table
Below is an accessible text version of the example table in the proposal.
| FCC Requirement (§14.21) | User experience problem | 14ten solution |
|---|---|---|
| 14.21.b.2.iv: Provide accurate, synchronous captions. | “Did the captions actually appear? Were they readable?” | Generate Evidence (caption logs, timing traces) to back an Assertion of compliance. |
| 14.21.b.4.i: Enable third-party sign language interpretation. | “Could my interpreter connect, and was the video quality sufficient?” | Generate Evidence (e.g., video quality for signing report) to prove the platform met technical standards. |
| 14.21.b.4.ii: Provide UI controls for captions and signers. | “Can I pin my interpreter and resize the caption window?” | Emit ui.a11y_state signals confirming controls were present and functioned. |
Pattern
- Translate obligations into observable signals.
- Persist proof as evidence.
- Generate audit-ready assertions tied to evidence.
