Implementation & Action

You now have the knowledge. Let's turn it into action with a practical 90-day plan, a ready-to-use checklist, and resources for your team.

This final module gives you everything you need to move from understanding to doing. You do not need to rebuild everything at once. Start with the journeys that matter most, fix the highest-friction problems first, and create a repeatable approach.

Delivery

A simple 90-day action plan

You do not need to rebuild everything at once. Start with the journeys that matter most, fix the highest-friction problems first, and create a repeatable approach.

1

Days 1 to 30

Choose one high-value journey such as sign-up, onboarding, or a key form. Review the content, labels, help text, and error states. Remove obvious clutter and rewrite the most confusing screens first.

2

Days 31 to 60

Improve the task flow. Add progress markers, examples, save-and-return, clearer validation, and a better confirmation step. Test with people who have cognitive access needs, not only internal teams.

3

Days 61 to 90

Turn the learning into a pattern. Update your design system, content guidance, templates, and review process so cognitive accessibility becomes part of normal delivery rather than a one-off fix. Where helpful, use tools such as AXS Audit to keep cognitive accessibility visible in ongoing review and remediation work.

COGA checklist for teams

Use this list in design reviews, content reviews, and release checks. It is short enough to use often and strong enough to catch common problems.

  • Headings are clear and tell users what this section is about.
  • Important actions use plain, stable button labels.
  • The page does not rely on memory when the system can show information again.
  • Forms explain why each key piece of information is needed.
  • Error messages say what went wrong and how to fix it.
  • Users can review information before final submission.
  • There is a save-and-return option for longer journeys where possible.
  • Instructions appear next to the task, not somewhere else on the page.
  • The layout stays consistent from one step to the next.
  • Time limits are explained and can be extended where possible.
  • Animations, interruptions, and visual clutter are kept under control.
  • Support content includes examples, summaries, or plain language where needed.
  • The journey works for first-time users, not only expert users.
  • People can recover from mistakes without losing all their work.
  • The team has tested the journey with people who have cognitive access needs.

Sources and next steps

The most useful next move is to apply this guide to one real journey. Pick a page, form, or staff system and review it section by section.

A sensible next step for your team

Start with a journey that has obvious friction, such as sign-up, onboarding, or a support request form. Review it against the checklist, make three to five improvements, and then test again. That gives you evidence, momentum, and a much better base for a wider accessibility programme.

For teams using AXS Audit, the next step can also be more visible and structured. Our dedicated COGA area, powered by AXS Cognitive AI, is designed to help surface issues, group them in a more useful way, and support practical remediation over time.
