Two practices, one standard of proof

Both ship fixed-price. Every finding is verified by a human before it reaches you.

Practice 01

Accessibility Engineering

Section 508 and WCAG conformance for native iOS, Android, and web, by an engineer who fixes the code rather than a tester who hands you a spreadsheet. The people on the other end are veterans checking benefits and patients booking care.

  • VoiceOver and TalkBack testing on real devices
  • ACR/VPAT authoring for procurement
  • Testing by a DHS Certified Trusted Tester
  • ADA Title II, HHS 504, and EAA compliance
See fixed-price accessibility offers

Practice 02

AI Delivery

Evaluation baselines built from your own records, then production agents that ship when they pass that baseline rather than when a demo looks good. Built on the systems you already run.

  • Client-owned evaluation harnesses
  • Audit trails and human approval gates
  • Legacy rescue and migration
  • HIPAA-aware governance for healthcare
See fixed-price AI offers

Live demonstration

What a screen reader announces

A benefits claim form has five stops in its focus order. Step through them and read what VoiceOver says at each one. This is the layer that automated scanners cannot check and that we test by hand on real devices.

VoiceOver announces

Step through the focus order to hear what is announced at each stop.

5 stops in this form

Mobile and Cross-Platform

Ship accessible iOS and Android apps, native or cross-platform. One codebase where that fits, native where it does not, accessibility built in from the first screen.

  • React Native and Flutter (iOS and Android)
  • Native Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose)
  • Native iOS (Swift, SwiftUI)
  • CI/CD and release automation

Web Applications

Build web applications designed against Section 508 and WCAG. React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with keyboard and screen reader support designed in, not retrofitted.

  • React, Next.js, TypeScript
  • Node.js, Spring Boot backends
  • Enterprise portals and dashboards

Technical Advisory

Architecture reviews and technical due diligence for acquisitions.

  • Architecture audit and review
  • Technical due diligence
  • Team training and mentorship

Fixed-Price Offers

Fixed scope and fixed price, agreed before work starts. AI-accelerated analysis, every finding verified by a human before it reaches you. Audit prices are per application or system; portfolio, multi-system, and program-scale work is priced to scope.

AI Delivery Readiness Assessment

Category
AI
Price
$5,000 to $10,000
Term
fixed

A fixed-scope assessment of how AI can work in your software delivery: modernization candidates, ranked agent and automation use cases, and the governance to do it safely.

  • System and codebase review (read-only access)
  • Governance baseline, HIPAA-aware for healthcare
  • Fixed-price implementation roadmap

AI Evaluation Baseline

Category
AI
Price
$5,000 to $12,000
Term
fixed

Measure whether your AI works before it touches production. A golden evaluation dataset built from your own historical data, a repeatable eval harness you own, and a report on what passes, what fails, and why.

  • Client-owned evaluation harness, rerunnable on every model change
  • Failure taxonomy and model cost right-sizing
  • Go/no-go call per workflow

Agent Deployment Sprint

Category
AI
Price
$25,000 to $50,000
Term
fixed

One workflow, one production AI agent, built on the systems you already run. Ships when it passes your evaluation baseline, not when a demo looks good. No migrations, no rip-and-replace.

  • Audit trail and human approval gates on every action
  • Shadow mode to supervised autonomy to production
  • Handover package: docs, runbooks, eval harness

Findings we closed, and proved closed

Two things on this page a buyer can check without taking our word for it: an assessment run end to end and verified shut, and this site’s own conformance.

Case study

Agentic Systems Security Assessment

Exploit payloads blocked on re-test
14 / 14Exploit payloads blocked on re-test
Endpoint authentication tests pass
8 / 8Endpoint authentication tests pass
Socket authentication tests pass
5 / 5Socket authentication tests pass
Independent breaks in the exploit chain
4Independent breaks in the exploit chain

Eight assessment domains applied to a production AI agent holding shell access, device control, and a live credential store. Eleven findings, a six-step exploit chain, and a remediation sequenced by dependency. Each finding was closed by re-running the original attack and watching it fail, not by reading a configuration file.

The subject was our own production agent. We hold the methodology to our own systems before we point it at a client’s.

Held to the standard we sell

Accessibility engineering is our core service, so lotusinnovations.io is tested the way a client system is. Automated axe-core testing runs on every deploy, with manual keyboard and screen reader review on a periodic full-site pass.

0

axe-core violations on the last deploy. Automated testing only

How an engagement runs

Two practices, two shapes of work, one starting point. Both begin with a scoping call and a number you can take to your finance team before anything else happens.

Accessibility engagement

Fixed two-week clock, fixed deliverable

  1. Week 0

    Scoping call

    You tell us the system. We come back with a fixed scope and a fixed price.

  2. Week 1

    Testing

    Manual VoiceOver and TalkBack passes on real devices, plus an automated sweep.

  3. Week 2

    ACR / VPAT

    Procurement-ready conformance report, every finding verified by a human.

  4. After

    Remediation

    A roadmap mapped to your codebase, or we fix it, priced per page or per screen.

AI engagement

Phased to the workflow, gated on your own evaluation baseline

  1. Phase 0

    Scoping call

    Same starting point. One workflow, named, with a fixed scope and a fixed price.

  2. Phase 1

    Baseline

    A golden evaluation set built from your own historical records, and the harness that reruns it. You own both.

  3. Phase 2

    Build

    The agent, on the systems you already run, with an audit trail and a human approval gate on every action.

  4. Phase 3

    Shadow to production

    Shadow mode, then supervised autonomy, then production. It ships when it passes your baseline, not when a demo looks good.

Public Sector Experience

About Lotus Innovations

Lotus Innovations is a California-based small business specializing in digital accessibility engineering for mobile and web, delivered by the founder, an engineer who builds mobile software rather than a tester running checklists.

Accessibility testing and remediation is the weakest area of Section 508 implementation across the federal enterprise (GSA FY2025 assessment). We close that gap where it is hardest, inside native iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter apps, at the code level. The people on the other end are veterans checking benefits, patients booking care, and residents applying for services on a phone.

Our second practice modernizes legacy systems and builds production AI delivery capability for healthcare, government, and regulated industries, where compliance and reliability are non-negotiable.

A sentence is enough. If you know the system, the platform, or roughly how many screens or pages are involved, that helps us quote it.

We use what you send to reply to you. Nothing else.
