02 Detect · Multi-domain scan

Multi-domain scan

One navigation, one browser session, one ScanEvent — all the regulators in one pass. The multi-domain scanner emits WCAG 2.1 & 2.2, EAA, EN 301 549, Section 508, ADA Title II/III, DOS-lagen evidence, plus WSG sustainability telemetry, in a single render. Every downstream Detect module consumes that same snapshot — the cost of the scan stays flat as the regulator set grows.

What it does

  • Single navigation

    One browser.goto(url) per scan. No re-navigation per domain — the browser session is instantiated once and reused across every analyzer.

  • Unified snapshot

    CDP AX Tree + DOM + CSSOM + perf trace + network log + screenshot, captured atomically. Domain analyzers read from this one snapshot rather than re-querying the page.

  • Cross-domain findings

    Findings tagged with every regulator they implicate. A single missing aria-label can be reported as WCAG 4.1.2, EN 301 549 9.4.1.2, Section 508 502.3.1, and EAA Annex I in one row.

  • Single ScanEvent

    One canonical record carries every regulator outcome and cross-domain consensus. Hash-anchored upstream of every downstream module — no analyzer ever disagrees with the source.

  • Consensus across regulations

    When two regulators map to the same root cause, the scanner emits a single normalized finding rather than duplicates. Reduces backlog noise and avoids double-counting in compliance dashboards.

  • Cost-flat scan

    Adding a regulation does not add another browser run. Customers who add Section 508 to their EAA scan pay the rule-pack cost only — not another full crawl.

Layer mapping

The multi-domain scanner reads from L0 Platform AX Tree and feeds L3 Testing plus L8 Sustainability and L9 AI Act scanner-axes. L0–L10 numbering follows the scanner-axis stack.

Differentiator

Siteimprove, accessibilityChecker, and axe-DevTools each scan one regulation per session. The multi-domain scanner covers every regulation the customer subscribes to in one render — collapsing the tool-sprawl pain (a $300K–$1.2M direct cost plus 1–2 FTE integration cost in our medium-customer baseline) into a single signed measurement report. Cross-tool consensus surfaces in canonical scoring; AI authorship for each finding surfaces in AI authorship attribution.
