a multimodal access audit and revision
Before the lab#
Complete the access checklist for your capstone prototype before asking someone
else to test it.

An access audit containing observed failures, prioritised revisions and the
alternative representation that will ship.
The spec
What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
