28 | | -## Other Notes |
| 17 | +## How will Equalify increase content accessibility? |
29 | 18 |
|
30 | | -Making money can cloud purpose. |
| 19 | +Equalify aims to: |
| 20 | +1. **Promote transparency** with a Open Source A11Y platform (✅ Done!). |
| 21 | +2. **Reduce the cost** of multi-page website scans (ongoing). |
| 22 | +3. **Improve automation** to simplify WCAG issue resolution (2023). |
31 | 23 |
|
32 | | -The purpose of Equalify, and my life, is to do ethical good. |
| 24 | +We will tackle these goals by integrating with existing web services, making Equalify your WebOps hub. |
33 | 25 |
|
34 | | -Here's a basic comparison of Open Source vs. Proprietary projects from [An Open Source Survey](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265411256_Open_Source_Software_A_Survey_from_10000_Feet): |

| 28 | +## What does Equalify currently do? |
37 | 29 |
|
38 | | -It should go without saying that the values of Open Source projects are more ethical than the values of proprietary projects. |
| 30 | +The app currently scans websites for WCAG errors. |
39 | 31 |
|
40 | | -If the Pro plan is indeed designed to sustain Equalify, we must focus on that goal (and temper our desires with [basic income nest eggs](https://bbertucc.notion.site/Basic-Income-Nest-Eggs-4b555b09d02d40389086c01ec84c1424)). |
| 32 | +You can import pages from WordPress, XML sitemaps, and single URLs. Equalify then crawls all your pages for WCAG 2.1 errors using the popular [WAVE scan](https://wave.webaim.org/). |
41 | 33 |
|
42 | | -Onward and upward! |
| 34 | +Every alert is reported on a filterable dashboard. |
