Impact
Evidence first. Always.
A marketplace is judged on proof, not promises: real users, real revenue, real participation. Ability Bazaar is designed to capture evidence from day one - paid invoices, usage analytics, creator records, agent logs and tester payouts.
Already true today
Years of paid accessibility testing
DATTC has sold digital accessibility testing services for years, delivered by trained professionals with disabilities, with an established customer base.
AI-operated, strengthened by lived experience
AI-assisted workflows support intake, scanning and drafting; people review scope and deliverables. The $199 service scans up to 200 public pages, then a blind or low-vision accessibility expert validates up to 20 highest-impact distinct findings and performs focused checks on 3 key pages. Delivery is within three business days; deeper human and assistive-technology testing is available through the custom-quote contact form.
Practical app experiences
Maya offers interview practice and Saarthi supports accessible meetings. Other programs, prototypes and concepts are labelled individually in the catalogue.
Evidence with clear limits
Paid orders, app usage and training participation are different measures. We do not treat them as proven employment or accessibility outcomes.

How these figures are counted
- The public marketplace launch date comes from the first successful Cloud Run revision with public access enabled.
- Confirmed figures include only paid orders accepted for fulfillment; unfinished checkout attempts are excluded.
- Transaction and payer counts can differ when one customer places more than one paid order.
- Pipeline counts open check-payment orders and active planned quotes without publishing their dollar value.
- Page visits are privacy-preserving aggregate human page views, not unique people.
Compensation pathway
How disability professionals are paid
Ability Bazaar's accessibility experts and creators are currently based in India. Because Ability Bazaar is operated by Vision-Aid Incorporated, a United States 501(c)(3) public charity, professional compensation is administered through Vision-Aid's established grant programme to its registered charitable partner in India, rather than paid directly from the marketplace checkout. Vision-Aid India assigns the work and records the related local payments.
The marketplace ledger therefore records the customer order and payment, while the India programme records professional compensation. Customer payments and local professional compensation are recorded separately as the related work is assigned, completed and recorded. This separation is an operating and compliance structure, not unpaid labor.
What we want to learn next
Which tools people return to, whether services are useful and accurate, and where setup or accessibility barriers remain. Proposed growth plans are not reported as achieved results.
