Hi Mike, It really depends upon the size of the application, site or offering and how much accessibility is addressed early, e.g. during unit testing. One of our accessibility verification teams was auditing a 75,000 LOC web application. They anticipated 200 accessibility violations from prior experience. They did not break these down by Level A or AA. However, since the developer ran automated scans during unit test, they only found 18 issues. This is much closer to Alistairs numbers.

When I was working on a model for accelerating accessibility, I had very similar questions not only about the relevance of WCAG levels, but the nature, frequency, severity and remediation efforts for accessibility issues. I've identified this as a research opportunity, as I did not find much useful data. I'd welcome any references, data sources or non-anecdotal findings on this topic. Michael Gower
