AccessLayer helps event participants understand accessibility policies, request accommodations without oversharing, and keep a source-linked record when an access barrier is not resolved.

Event accessibility information is often split across registration forms, venue pages, participation rules, and email instructions. That makes basic questions surprisingly hard to answer: Are workshops captioned? Is the restroom accessible? Who receives an accommodation request? Is there a deadline? How long is request data kept?

AccessLayer turns an event policy into an actionable access workflow.

Participants can:

  • paste or upload a public or synthetic event policy;
  • see a plain-language accessibility summary;
  • inspect which access topics are documented, partial, ambiguous, or missing;
  • open the exact source passage behind each finding;
  • request support with minimal disclosure;
  • see whether the request has been acknowledged; and
  • download a source-linked escalation packet for human follow-up.

Organizers get the same findings as a remediation checklist, including the missing information they should publish and the access questions they still need to answer.

The LexHack demo uses a fictional student event. Its policy says that captions are available for the keynote, remote access is limited to selected sessions, the venue has a ramp, requests go to a general event email address, and no request deadline or data-retention policy is documented. AccessLayer keeps those boundaries intact. It does not turn “not documented” into “not available,” and it does not decide whether the event is legally compliant.

Aeria provides the evidence discipline underneath the workflow: source preservation, bounded claim interpretation, provenance, and audit history. The participant-facing product is AccessLayer.

The prototype uses GPT-6 Luna for fast policy extraction because the participant is waiting on the result. A deterministic parser remains available as a bounded fallback. Source excerpts are checked against the supplied policy before they are stored. Accommodation requests do not ask for a diagnosis or medical history, contact information is optional, and synthetic demo requests can be deleted.

AccessLayer does not provide legal advice or make automatic legal conclusions.
