Story

We’ve been building Rataify, a website compliance scanner focused on accessibility (WCAG), privacy regulations (GDPR / CCPA), and FTC marketing claim risks.

Most compliance tools focus only on accessibility and often just wrap Lighthouse or axe-core. Privacy and marketing risk checks are usually manual.

We’re experimenting with a layered approach:

DOM-level accessibility checks (WCAG violations)

Policy presence + structural checks (privacy / terms disclosures)

Heuristic scanning of marketing copy for risky FTC-style claims

Fast report generation intended for pre-launch audits

The goal isn’t legal automation — it’s to reduce obvious compliance gaps before a site goes live.

We’re especially interested in:

False positive tolerance in automated compliance tools

Whether developers would run this as part of CI

What compliance signals are most valuable in practice

Would love technical feedback.
