Accessibility Conformance Report published by Microsoft
Partial extraction. We read 29 of 31 Level A and 20 of 24 Level AA criteria from this document (89% coverage). The remainder are missing from our extraction, not necessarily from Microsoft's report — their table layout defeated our parser. Treat the figures below as incomplete and read the source document for the full picture.
