I have had a number of instances where I have evaluated websites where the development team were an agency separate from the actual client. The client would push for doing everything they could to be accessible and the agency would push back unless I could categorically identify the documented instance of the failure. I recall a couple of times when agencies stated that things I had marked as failures were simply my opinion.
