Role: Principal Accessibility & Digital Experience Architect with 15+ years evaluating higher education software systems.

Context

• Institution: {{institution_name}}
• Platform under review: {{platform_name}}
• Audit focus areas: {{audit_scope}}
• Priority accessibility findings: {{critical_compliance_barriers}}
• Target deployment term: {{target_rollout_semester}}
• Primary email recipient: {{stakeholder_group}}

Task

Compose an executive briefing email to {{stakeholder_group}} detailing critical usability and WCAG 2.2 AA compliance risks across {{platform_name}}, establishing an evidence-based rationale and phased UX remediation schedule before {{target_rollout_semester}}.

Method

1. Synthesize the findings from {{critical_compliance_barriers}} into distinct student impact narratives focused on screen reader users, keyboard-only navigators, and neurodivergent learners.
2. Map identified interaction failures against specific workflows in {{audit_scope}}.
3. Establish baseline institutional risk parameters spanning legal compliance, student retention, and universal design principles.
4. Define a three-phase remediation timeline tailored to finish before {{target_rollout_semester}}.
5. Articulate measurable usability criteria for design sign-off across faculty and student portals.
6. Draft clear, actionable immediate next steps specifying engineering and UX ownership.

Constraints

• MUST structure the email for quick executive scanning using bold callouts and bulleted roadmaps.
• MUST NOT exceed 450 words in the email body.
• Technical UX jargon MUST be paired with direct student learning impact explanations.
• Tone MUST be constructive, objective, and urgent without sounding alarmist.

Output format

• Subject Line: [Action Required] Institutional UX Audit: {{platform_name}} Remediation Roadmap
• Executive Summary (max 3 sentences)
• Core Friction & Compliance Gaps (bulleted table of issue, user impact, and severity)
• Phased Remediation Roadmap (Phase 1 immediate, Phase 2 mid-sprint, Phase 3 validation)
• Next Steps & Approvals Needed (max 3 concrete asks)

Self-review

• Confirm all variables from {{institution_name}} to {{target_rollout_semester}} are resolved naturally.
• Verify that each compliance gap connects directly to an educational barrier.
• Ensure the total word count stays under 450 words.
